Bats are usually not very aggressive against people, since healthy bats try to avoid humans as much as they can. Although most bats are not very hostile, they are still very deadly to humans. This is not because they’re set on sucking your blood, which is what people usually think, but instead, it’s because bats contain many viruses that has the potential to cause serious diseases in people.
Unlike many other animals, bats are able to carry many viruses that can be deadly to other creatures. This is due to their high immune system they have built up from being the world’s only flying mammal. Bats have evolved a remarkably efficient immune system to limit inflammation. Also to counter a bat’s immune defenses, the viruses inside this mammal has gotten good at spreading rapidly from cell to cell. This means that when the virus gets into animals without a similarly strong immune system, they are able to cause serious damage. COVID-19 is an example of a virus originating from bats that is causing harm to many humans, showing that bats can be very deadly due to the viruses they carry.
Although one may say that bats would usually flee when they encounter a human, this does not mean that they are not threatening to people’s lives. The viruses inside a bat can still spread by other ways. For example, local people from Myanmar collect bat droppings for fertilizer. These bat droppings could also be a major source of viral transmission, spreading viruses to many humans.
This shows that bats can be very dangerous to humans and many other animals. They have a lot of viruses inside of them that can be very deadly to other animals. Even if a bat is not aggressive to humans, they are still spreading deadly diseases that can be very harmful to people.
