Treatment options

Last year I blogged about the 50,000 people who die of snake bite in India each year because of the lack of proper treatment. Seems a similar situation may now exist in Peru where rabid bats have killed 11 children since Christmas Day. The report, which quotes the regional health director, said many vicitims were poor people who slept out in the open although others slept under mosquito netting. Pity it wasn't bat netting - or that treatment isn't available.
