The bat that scratched the young lady has been tested. The results were negative for lyssavirus. Sighs of relief all round.

Still, some people...

Just so you know.

...though I'm still left wondering why people need to euthanase and test a (hypothetically) healthy bat if the person it scratched is supposed to get vaccinated straight away regardless. The only rationalisation I can see for it would be cases such as this where the person scratched isn't being vaccinated - double growl, if that is the reason.

(On the up-side, it turns out wildlife rescuers in Victoria - and I am now signed up to rescue, no longer just to take injured wildlife calls - can get their lyssavirus innoculations free, huzzah!)
