Utah man, 55, who allowed BATS to fly around his house and fed them from his bare hands becomes the state's first rabies death since 1944
'The bats never hurt us, and we were always catching them in our hands and releasing them outside because you hear all the time about how bats are good for the insect population, and you don’t want to hurt them,' Juanita told KSL.com.
'The bats would lick our fingers, almost like they could taste the saltiness of our fingers, but they never bit us.'
Gary is the first person in Utah to pass away from rabies since 1944. A GoFundMe page has been set up for the family to help pay for Gary's medical expenses and funeral costs.
