Rabid Vampire Bats Suck

Where: Brazil

We're a little late in finding out about this, but if we didn't know, maybe you didn't either: over 1,300 people in northern Brazil have had to be treated for bites by VAMPIRE BATS -- 23 people, mostly children, have died from the rabies that the bats often carry. Deforestation and a large increase in the numbers of succulent bat food (i.e. cattle) may be to blame for the horror. Kind of puts that bedbug problem into perspective, doesn't it?
