According to the CDC, bats are typically the most common animals to carry rabies within the U.S. and are found in 49 states except Hawaii. Bats that are found in unusual places -- like inside a toilet -- can be warning signs of behavior caused by rabies and it's recommended to contact animal control or a local public health department.

The CDC also recommends avoiding all contact with bats and getting help to safely capture a bat found inside. They also recommend seeking medical attention right away, especially if you think you've been bitten, scratched or come into contact with bat saliva.

In the comments, Whitters wrote she was "not sure" how the bat could've ended up inside the toilet in the first place.

"The pest removal guy said it came through the chimney in the middle of the night," she wrote. "[But I'm] not sure how it found the toilet." Whitters also confirmed that she "got the shots and we are good over here."
