CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) – It wasn’t just the caffeine that gave an Iowa woman an extra jolt after she had her morning coffee. It was also the bat she found in the filter. |
The Iowa Department of Public Health says the woman reported a bat in her house but wasn’t too worried about it. She turned on her automatic coffee maker before bedtime and drank her coffee the next morning. |
She discovered the bat in the filter when she went to clean it that night. The woman has undergone treatment for possible rabies. |
Health officials say that the bat was sent to a lab but that its brain was too cooked by the hot water to determine whether it had rabies. |
