Spread region of blood-sucking bats continued to expand due to climate change.
A teenager from Mexico became the first person in the United States died from blood-sucking bats. Worryingly, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) states that the bat was likely to spread throughout the country.
19-year-old migrant worker was exposed to rabies caused by bat bites at the heel, 15 July 2010. He was bitten in Michoacan, 10 days before departure to the United States to work in the sugar mill, in Louisiana.
"This case is the first case in which the man killed by bite and exposure rabies virus is transmitted by blood-sucking bats in the United States," said the CDC report, as quoted by Fox News, August 15, 2011.
Reportedly, the teenager fell ill two weeks after being bitten because it is not given a rabies vaccination. He himself went for treatment complaining of pain in the shoulders, fatigue, disturbances in the left eye, and numbness in the left arm. In addition, he also experienced breathing problems and high heat.viva
