Vampire bats now feeding on humans

[fuji]

Only a concern if you head into the remote areas of Brazil. Vampire bats never used to feed on people but they seem to have adapted to the loss of their original prey by switching to sucking blood from humans:

Apparently they don't actually suck your blood. They land on you when you are sleeping and, like a giant mosquito, have saliva that numbs your skin so you don't feel it when they cut you. Then they lap up the blood that flows out until they are full.

Most attacks are on people sleeping outdoors or with an open door or window.

Such an uplifting story to read in the middle of the night. I'm sure I'll have some lovely dreams now. Thanks fuj.

This is good for people that want a pet vampire bat, they'll never have to go out and buy bat food.

I heard that the victims are having side affects like not sleeping at night, fear of the sun, craving for raw meat ........................

Kathleen, I'm going to wing it over to your place after midnight tonight.

I'm a sucker for Anne Rice books, series like Buffy, True blood, movies like the Lost Boys, etc.
Stuff like this makes me want to leave the window open, take off my cross, and wear a nice open neck gown to bed.
Forget the gown, I'm sleeping nude if it brings me a real Vampire.

There has to be ONE legit blood sucker looking to go back to people feeding, and I need to stop aging asap..lol

Thanks Fuji, I'm gonna sleep like the dead tonight!

A cool breeze on those nipples will attract more than vampires. Your window will look like the Jerusalem wall scene in World War Z.

HNY Kathleen.

I'm not a fan of some of these preppy, new-age vampire movies or series.

However, I recently watched Dracula Untold on TV. Now THAT I liked. Or even the one with Hugh Jackman and Kate Bechinsale, Van Helsing. Another bad ass Dracula movie. Maybe next time I see you, I'll put on a pair of Dracula teeth and surprise you

I thought interview with a vampire was pretty cool.

Vampire bats have always fed on people, but not as a regular source of food. Now they seem to be making a habit of it. Opportunism plays a role in evolution, and this is just one example.
