Post First Vampire Bat-Related Death Reported In The U.S
.


U.S. health authorities have announced the first death by a vampire bat in the United States.

According to the AFP, on July 15, 2010, a 19-year-old man was bitten by a vampire bat in Michoacan, Mexico. Ten days later, the migrant farm worker left for the U.S. to pick sugar cane at a Louisiana plantation. He fell sick, presenting symptoms of fatigue, shoulder pain, numbness in his left hand and a drooping left eye.

MSNBC.com writes, "Despite 'True Blood’s' Louisiana setting, nobody thought of vampire bats because there are no vampire bats in the United States outside of zoos. But the young man had only just arrived in the United States." Tests later confirmed that he was infected with rabies.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently wrote, "This case represents the first reported human death from a vampire bat rabies virus variant in the United States." According to the CDC, the victim had a notably aggressive form of rabies.

There have been 32 human rabies cases reported to the CDC since 2000.

According to the CDC, "Although vampire bats currently are found only in Latin America, research suggests that the range of these bats might be expanding as a result of changes in climate.

I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth

I don’t think it’s a matter of “is it coming.” I think that it’s already here, it’s just a matter of perspective. From one perspective, our frog friends are telling us that we should be grateful that the “spa” is hot and luxurious. From the cook’s perspective… another 10 minutes and we’ll be dinner.

Dang! Where will it end? First, I had to have silver bullets to kill werewolves. Then, I had to get steel shot to kill ducks. Next, according to some, I have to have copper bullets to kill the Nephilim...the 'giants' of the Bible, which will be returning. And now I have to have on hand also wooden bullets so I can protect myself from vampires? Where will it end???
