When you open your iPad, a rabid bat is probably the last thing you expect. But that's what happened to Roy Syvertson, 86, of New Hampshire, when he noticed a surprise guest hiding in his tablet case.

"I opened it like that and I returned it," Syvertson told WMUR-TV, showing how he usually pulls out his iPad to watch something. "I looked, and the bat came out of here, between the cover and the back of the cushion … And then I got up, still pressing him, which, I'm sure sure, did not rejoice, and I took him out. "

Syvertson said that the bat had bitten her finger, which, in her opinion, seemed to her like a bee sting. It was only the day after the villain's death that he realized: "I could have a problem."

Syvertson contacted the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department about his concerns.

"He said," I would like you to go to the hospital immediately without wasting time, "he said." It's a good thing I do not have. not decided to cuddle him a little. "

At the hospital, Syvertson was immediately treated for rabies, which was a good choice because the Fish and Game department later confirmed that the bat was enraged.

Syvertson recovered from the attack of his intruder, but he said that it would remain a mystery as to how he snuck in on the inside.
