Police hunt children who kissed rabid bat :doh:

FORT MYERS | Police said Friday they were searching for five children of around 10 years who recently kissed a bat that now is know to have rabies.

The group encountered the bat and its owner on a pier in Fort Myers, according to Lee County health authorities.

"Rabies is a fatal disease. There is no known cure for rabies, only vaccination," said Judith Hartner, director of the county health department. "It is critical that the youth who were playing with the bat on Fort Myers Beach pier are vaccinated as soon as possible."

The bat and it's owner? sounds like somebody found a bat they could catch, made it a "pet" and walked around the beach and surprise surprise it was sick....
I'm not scared of the dark, it's the things IN the dark that make me nervous. :)
