The death of Leah Seneng, 60, last week was confirmed to be from the horrific disease by Fresno County health officials, according to the report.
Seneng had tried to save a bat she found lying in her classroom at Bryant Middle School in Dos Palos in mid-October, her dear friend Laura Splotch told the TV news outlet.
“I don’t know if she thought it was dead or what cause it was laying around her classroom and she was trying to scoop it up and take it outside,” Splotch told ABC30.

Apparently the fool also didn't want to get treatment either.
I got biten by a bat. The shots weren’t too bad.
Art Teacher ?
She went to bat and struck out.
If a bat is out and in reach of humans in a school classroom during the day, chances are it is rabid. She should have called janitorial services to bring a net or better yet a shovel to dispatch the creature immediately.
However, with this incident, her students may have learned one of the most informative and useful science/biology/zoology lessons of the year.
It doesn’t even have to be a bite. People don’t realize that you don’t have to be bitten to contract rabies. It can come from just a scratch, or any contact of saliva with a sore or a mucous membrane without any breaking of skin.
Death by rabies a horrible way to die. But she begged for it..
I think a lot of people still think it’s the old giant needle to the abdomen. About 15 years ago my family of four had a potential exposure. The number is per size and weight. If I remember it was 19 shots over two or three session, between us. But regular shots, not some massive needle. Not horrible but rabies IS a particularly horrible was to go
My grand told us as children of a girl she knew who got rabies. At the end she was so ill, the oral history, claim someone put a pillow over her face and smothered her to death. We are talking 1880’s.
Many years ago my brother brought home a stray cat and my parents took it to the Vet for a check and found out it had Rabies and had it put to sleep , they did get a kitten at the Vet for him thought .
Man, tough way to go.
Now that’s a set of shots I would get with no problem.
Who the heck handles a wild animal with their bare, unprotected hands?!! Stupid paid a dividend.
Once symptoms show up, it's almost certainly too late. Only a dozen or so have survived using the Milwaukee protocol, and that's a fraction of the people treated with it.
Seems as though ‘being rabid’ is a natural condition for most Bats.
I had a pet bat when I was 5-6 years old. His name was Masterson.
Rabies is not the only thing that still exist in California.
Few realize PLAGUE still exist

I notice that the woman in this story was put into a coma a few days before she died.
I know people who were exposed in a research setting. The treatment now is nothing like it used to be, and they all went through it easily. It certainly beats the possible alternative.
Then got shots like he did.
