A zoo in Nebraska told 186 guests that they may have been exposed to rabies after a wild bat that tested positive for the virus snuck into the aquarium. "It is not unusual for a wild bat to be infected with rabies, which is why you should never directly touch a wild bat." Individuals receive a dose of the rabies vaccine and human rabies immune globulin on the first day, then a dose of the rabies vaccine on days 3, 7, and 14. The rabies scare began when an overnight campout guest woke up to find a bat near her head on the evening of July 4. A team at the zoo investigated and found seven bats in total, one of which tested positive for rabies.
