Urgent health alert after bat attack spike | 7NEWS
New South Wales has recorded 43 bat attacks in a two-week period, with people being bitten or scratched by the animals. Health authorities have issued an urgent alert warning residents to stay away from bats due to the risk of Australian bat Lyssavirus, a rare but potentially fatal disease if left untreated. The increase in attacks is believed to be caused by seasonal food shortages forcing bats to be more active during daylight hours, particularly in coastal areas.
