Bat-Manu fær sprautu gegn hundaæði

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (AP) -- Manu Ginobili has decided to stay away from bats after having to get vaccinated for rabies.

The San Antonio Spurs star says on his Facebook page that he had to be vaccinated after catching a bat and removing it from the court during an NBA victory over Sacramento on Saturday night, during Halloween.

Ginobili posted Monday that he doesn't know if the bat had rabies but he had to get vaccinated to make sure he was safe. He also encouraged people to "avoid contact with bats, skunks, raccoons, rats and animals like that."
