comment:

[An abundance of caution clearly indicates post exposure prophylaxis is recommended. A bat in the salad is beyond the so called 'yuck' factor. It is positively nauseating!

Wow....

I am not sure this should be posted in the "comedy" room because I have personally bought that brand at a WalMart in Florida in the past.

 

[alert]

I posted it in the comedy room because of the ProMED comment, not the incident itself. There is something ironic about the phrase "positively nauseating"

​As far as the incident itself, we will have to see what the investigation turns up to see how it occurred. I really can't imagine how a bat would have ended up in a sealed container of salad.

We appear to have our own news thread for the incident itself:
