Girl needed emergency rabies injection after bit by a BAT

An eight-year-old girl needed an emergency rabies injection after she was bitten by a BAT which flew into her home. Honey Ball was in her kitchen when the winged animal flapped into through the patio and sank its teeth into her finger. Animal lover Honey ushered the animal outside using a tea towel and her mum took her to hospital and then her GP. But she was astonished when medics said she was at risk of rabies - and has had to have a series of vaccinations to prevent the deadly virus taking hold.
