A Massachusetts woman had a scary encounter while traveling to Arizona to visit her father.
Erica Kahn was in Northern Arizona with her dad last August to take their annual pictures of the sky.
"We like to take photos of the night sky and the stars, and it's something we've been doing for the past 10 years now, but this was the first time this incident occurred," said Kahn to FOX 10.
While snapping photos, she said a bat flew directly into her mouth.
"I don't know what part of the bat went into my mouth," she said. "Maybe the wing, the head."

Well the next morning it flew around the house and the bat decided to rest on the corner of a mirror and my dad killed it by crushing its neck with a broom handle.
Swept it up and took it to the health dept.. It was rabies free.

As for that yankee lady? Her breath must have been really something to attract flying insects.
My worried period was right after I read Cujo. A bat flew around in the library where I worked. Happens in the building (opened in 1920).
I thought I felt something on my lower leg and ankle and tried to brush it away like a part of my pant legs getting caught or something. It was a bat. It was clinging to my sock. I brushed it away and it flew. A custodian later caught it in a waste basket. Let it go outside.
I asked about the bat and he said it seemed dopey probably from bouncing around and hitting things. I worried it was rabid, of course. I had a little blood spot on my leg but it could have been from scratching. I waited to see if anything seemed wrong with my health but thank God I was fine.
I don’t know. I have seen a woman with a Mexican free-tail caught in her hair.
She hooked a Large Mouth Bat
My ex boyfriend had a bat fly into his hand when he went to take the garbage out one night. He had a scratch on his hand, was unsure if it was a scratch or a bite. He ended up getting the rabies shots as a precaution. My understanding is that once the infection starts, you can end up in real trouble. Of course, that all happened back when we all trusted doctors.
