>>>> ??? There's nothing strange about getting rabies from a bat.
Yes, that's true, but the initial story, now rescinded, was that the person got rabies from bat manure, not from a bite. My understanding is that virtually any mammal can conceivably carry rabies, although some are more likely to get it and survive the initial bite to spread it on. For instance, it's almost unheard of for a tiny mouse to carry rabies, because any carrier that would bite something so small would almost assuredly kill the tiny animal right away.
