One heck of a way to start off a morning
October 3rd, 2008
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – It wasn’t just the caffeine that gave an eastern Iowa woman an extra jolt when she had her morning cup of coffee.
It was the bat she found in the coffee filter.
Officials with the Iowa Department of Public Health say the woman reported seeing a bat in her house but wasn’t overly worried about it. They say she turned on her automatic coffee maker before she went to bed and had her coffee the next morning.
They say she discovered the bat in the filter in the coffee maker when she went to clean it out that night.
Officials say the woman, who wasn’t identified, underwent treatment for rabies.
They say the bat was sent to a state lab for testing but its brain was too cooked by the heat of the brewing water to determine if it had rabies.
