Two people in Florida ate some salad from a container before discovering the remains of a dead bat inside of it, officials said.
The bat — a Mexican free-tailed bat — was sent last week to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention laboratory for rabies testing because the animals in the United States can sometimes carry the disease, the agency said in a statement on Saturday. However, the bat was too badly decomposed to definitively determine whether it had rabies.
Transmission of rabies by eating a rabid animal is “extremely uncommon,” the agency said, adding that the virus does not survive for long outside the infected animal.
Just a guess, but it was probably long decomposed and dried up when it was packaged. I highly doubt it died in the bag.
