Of Bats and Sleep
I just heard this on This American Life's Halloween episode. All of the stories for this show are not only scary, but real to boot. Carbon monoxide poisioning making a family think their house is haunted. A monster that has escaped from the insane asylum. And this, from a story about attacking, rabid raccoons:
...which brings me to a quick public service announcement. A bat can bite you in your sleep without you even knowing it, and without leaving a mark. So if you find one in a room with a sleeping person, you have to catch it and have it tested [for rabies]. And if you can't catch it you should go to a doctor.
I'm serious. I learned about this, it freaked me out, and now I want to tell people.
Not only is it scary, but it's also factual, informative, well-written and well-presented: damn fine radio.
