"...donor, a man, [was] complaining of confusion..."
Seems to me like we are completely lost: this symptom applies both to me and to everyone I know...

Here in Dallas, on WFAA, the doctors said the donor was likely bitten by a bat, but didn't tell anybody.

Boy, talk about sadly unlucky! I wonder what the odds would be -- An MD and not reporting.

A year can pass from when a person is bitten by a rabid animal or exposed to a bat before rabies develops.

I did not know this.

What are the testing standards set forth by the American Association of Tissue Banks relating to rabies? Any blood test at this stage should make it evident the tissue is useless, right?

The info about transmission via saliva, does that apply to any ambulance chasers starting to drool after reading about the 3 plantiff, er, uh, victim's families?

1. A local vet was exposed to rabies when a rabid cat bit her during a routine examination. The cat had been transported as a pet across the Mexican border sans quarantine. Perhaps the man was similarly bitten and assumed that it was a "normal" cat (or dog, raccoon or oppossum) bite?

2. Is it possible for tetanus to be transmitted in blood transfusions and organ transplants? Are blood and organ donors screened for tetanus and if so, would the tetanus antibodies from long ago vaccines give a predictable yet false reading?

Extremely unusual for the virus to spread through other than a bite.

Very strange, but interesting. I would say you will see a class-action lawsuit in the near future.
