A man has died and more than 40 people are being treated for possible rabies exposure in Brazil after vampire bats attacked them.
Those bitten are waking up to find their bed sheets soaked in blood!
It seems that locals are being terrorised by the flying mammals at night.
Aroldo Carneiro, who heads the rabies surveillance unit, said: "We have detected shifts in bat behaviour and a worrying increase in the population in the area. We believe this is due to deforestation and the destruction of caves, which forces the bats to migrate to the cities.
"The city centre does not have the normal source of food for hematophagous beings (who feed on blood) such as horses and cattle. The Vampire bats must find an alternative to live so they bite dogs and cats, and when these aren’t available they turn to humans."
