Cecilia “Cece” Kale was climbing a tree outside her home in Tigerton when the bat sank its teeth into her left thigh last week. Her brothers, Nicklas, 11, and Camden, 16, pulled the bat off her before Nicklas killed it with the sword, their mother, Elizabeth Kale, told NBC News on Tuesday. The bat later tested positive for rabies.

Cece is now recovering from the attack. Rabies is nearly 100 percent fatal if left untreated, but is almost always curable with prompt post-exposure shots.
