With the fairly broad scope of publicity campaigns and pop-sci information about how bats are notorious hosts of rabies, it's surprising that this woman didn't go get checked out right after releasing the bat. I'd assume she'd have noticed being bitten since she was awake and carrying it before releasing it, and that would have been a huge red flag for visiting a doctor, but even if she wasn't sure about a bite, like I said, the publicity around bats and the danger of rabies is huge. Even little kids often know about the connection between the two. Strange. She had nearly a month to save herself and simply nope.
