"Furious" bats threaten the people of Sydney

Due to high temperatures

SYDNEY – LONDON: Middle East

The warming of the bats caused the explosion and the popping of the population, prompting the Australian authorities to warn the inhabitants of northern Sydney to prepare for the attacks of "rabid" bats.
Health officials said residents of Hunter Valley and New England in the north had reported an unprecedented number of bats against humans.
According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, two of the attacks were committed by flying fox bats infected with a virus similar to rabies. Public health doctor David Durham said seven attacks have been recorded in the past two weeks, more than ever.
"Two bats that have been tested for rabies have already been confirmed, so there is a real concern for us and those who have been exposed," Durham told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
He added that the unusually hot temperature, with temperatures above 40 degrees, had resulted in weight loss of bats, weight loss, falling trees and laying cables. "People trying to help bats have unfortunately been scratched or bitten," he said. The death of black foxes begins, or bats are usually called, when the temperature reaches 42 degrees Celsius. The flying foxes disappear when the temperature reaches 43 degrees Celsius.
Many bats carry the Australian rabies virus, which can be deadly to humans. According to Durham, once the virus enters the human body, it can no longer be effectively treated.
"Almost everyone is infected," Durham told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Fiona McBurney of Wild Wild Aid called on the public to call in experts to see the bats in turmoil. "Our bat teams are fortified and trained to deal with these bats."
