Bat flies into tourist's mouth during Arizona night sky photography trip

A Massachusetts woman had a scary encounter while traveling to Arizona to visit her father. 

While snapping photos, she said a bat flew directly into her mouth.

Kahn knew she needed to be checked for rabies immediately - and was shocked to learn that her treatment was not covered, she said.

Kahn was unaware of a 30-day waiting period for coverage to kick in - which left her with a bill of over $20,000.

Fox News Digital reached out to the insurance firm for comment.

"Our healthcare system is so broken and that's why I'm kind of happy to take these interviews," Kahn told FOX 10.

The leading cause of human rabies death is contact with infected bats, according to the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC).

Seven out of 10 people who die from rabies were infected by bats, according to the CDC.

In 2019, a 21-year-old man died from being scratched by a bat in Canada.
