When a bat broke into a house in Sanmen Road in Shanghai over the weekend, a 73-year-old woman surnamed Ding used clothes to drive it out.

Though the bat fled, Ding was bitten, and her son then sent her to Changhai Hospital. The doctor washed the bite wounds and vaccinated her.

Experts note that if any bat enters a house, the person inside should turn on the lights and open all the windows, so that the bats will leave immediately to escape the light.

They added that one should not use anything to drive the bats out, in case they might attack the person. If bitten, people should be injected with a vaccine.
