Q: A 6-year-old Eustis boy reportedly died of rabies Sunday at an Orlando hospital after being scratched by a sick bat that Lake County officials said had been living in his home. 
  
 Henry Roque confirmed his son Ryker Roque’s death to NBC News after previously telling the “Today” show that Ryker became infected when the bat scratched him. 
  
 Lake County deputies responded to the Eustis home about two weeks ago after they were told the family’s pit bull may have had rabies. When they arrived, somebody told them the residents were at the hospital with their son, who had been scratched by a bat, sheriff’s Maj. Chris Delibro said. 
  
 “We’re told the bat had been in the house for a week or two prior to the boy going to the hospital,” Delibro said. 
  
 During that time, authorities said the bat may have come in contact with the dog. 
  
 Deputies didn’t see the bat, but they took the pit bull and a cat to the Sheriff’s Office’s animal shelter for testing. Delibro did not know the results of the tests. 
  
 Henry Roque said in an interview with the “Today” show that he found the sick bat and put it in a bucket. He told Ryker not to touch it, but Ryker did and was scratched, the father told the show. 
  
 After the scratch, Henry Roque said in the interview, he washed the wound but didn’t take Ryker to the hospital because the boy cried when he was told he would need shots. 
  
 About a week later, the 6-year-old complained of a headache and numbness in his fingers. 
  
 Then the family took him to the hospital, but reportedly it was too late for him to receive shots. 
  
 “That’s my buddy, he’s my boy, he’s my everything,” Henry Roque said in the “Today” interview. “He tells all his friends ‘My daddy will fix anything.’ I can’t fix that. I’ve never loved anything or anybody so much in my life. Ever.” 
  
 Attempts by the Orlando Sentinel to reach the family weren’t successful, but a GoFundMe page raising money for medical expenses said Monday, “We are so sad to say that Ryker lost his fight last night...our little baby is now an angel.” 
  
 Rabies deaths in the United States are rare, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 
  
 Between 2008 and 2017, only 23 cases have been reported, and the number of deaths blamed on the disease has declined since the 1970s, according to the agency. 
  
 Most rabies hosts are wild carnivores and bats. 
  
 Orange County Health Department spokesman Kent Donahue said people should avoid touching wildlife. 
  
 “If you believe you may have been exposed to rabies, contact your health care provider and your county health department immediately,” Donahue said in an email. “If an exposure occurred, it is important to administer treatment right away.”

 A 6-year-old boy in Florida is undergoing a treatment, known as the Milwaukee protocol, after being diagnosed with rabies.

 A 6-year-old Florida boy who was undergoing experimental treatment after being diagnosed with rabies has died. 
  
 Ryker Roque passed away in an Orlando hospital, his father said Monday. 
  
 Roque had been undergoing the treatment, called the Milwaukee protocol, after he was scratched by a bat. His father, Henry Roque, had found the sick bat and put it in a bucket, telling his son not to touch it. 
  
 "So, apparently he put his hand in there and touched it and he said it only scratched him, so I frantically googled it real quick and it says to wash his hands with soap, hot water for five minutes," Henry Roque told NBC News. 
  
 When Ryker complained of numb fingers and a headache a week later, he was rushed to the hospital. Ryker was put into a medically induced coma, forcing his body to create its own specialized antibodies to fight off the illness.

 A 6-year-old Florida boy fighting rabies has died, his father said Sunday. 
  
 Ryker Roque was being kept under anesthesia in an Orlando hospital in a desperate bid to save him from the deadliest virus there is. 
  
 The family was trying an experimental technique called the Milwaukee protocol, which has saved at least two other children in the U.S. and 18 people around the world, according to its inventor, Dr. Rodney Willoughby of Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. 
  
 It started when Ryker's father, Henry Roque, found a sick bat. 
  
 "(I) found a bat, put it in a little bucket, put it on the porch and I had asked my son, 'don't touch it under any circumstances'," Roque told NBC News. 
  
 "So, apparently he put his hand in there and touched it and he said it only scratched him, so I frantically googled it real quick and it says to wash his hands with soap, hot water for five minutes." 
  
 They knew they should have taken Ryker for immediate medical attention but relented when Ryker cried at the thought of getting shots. 
  
 A week or so later, Ryker complained of numb fingers and a headache. Henry feared he'd hit his head while playing and rushed him to the hospital. 
  
 When Henry Roque mentioned the bat, doctors became alarmed. "I mean, alarms, bells, whistles went off," he said. 
  
 "They went frantically looking for the other doctors to tell them that it was a bat and how severe it was. And then they all came in. We had a conference and they explained to me that it's almost always lethal." 
  
 Rabies can be prevented if someone is vaccinated before they start developing symptoms. But once symptoms start to show, the disease has spread to the brain and is virtually impossible to stop. 
  
 When reached last week, Willoughby, a pediatrician, said he could not comment Ryker’s case but said he regularly consults with medical teams trying to save rabies victims around the world.

 The first person saved this way was Jeanna Giese, who was 15 in 2004 when she developed rabies. Willoughby’s protocol, which included sedation and treatment with antiviral drugs, cured her. 
  
 “She’s doing wonderfully,” Willoughby said. “She never even missed a school year.” 
  
 Giese even overcame the damage done to her brain by the virus. 
  
 “She’s married, she had twin children,” he said. “She’s doing so well I never hear from her.” 
  
 Any mammal can get rabies, and the disease causes horrible symptoms as the virus attacks the nervous system. It can make an animal aggressive and violent and can cause severe pain. Victims eventually fall into a coma and die when they can no longer breathe properly. 
  
 Globally, the World Health Organization says 55,000 people die of rabies every year, with dogs the source of 99 percent of these fatal bites. 
  
 People can survive if vaccinated immediately after a bite or other exposure to rabies. But the few U.S. cases are usually in children who have been bitten by bats and either do not realize they were bitten — bats have tiny teeth — or are unable to say so. 
  
 The incubation period can be months, so sometimes by the time symptoms start, it's hard for people and especially small children to even remember if they were near a bat. 
  
 Rabies vaccine supplies are tight in the U.S., so people cannot get a vaccine unless they have been exposed, usually via an animal bite, or have a high risk of bites. 
  
 “It’s almost never too late to take shots if you have had a real exposure to an animal,” Willoughby said.

A:
Ryker Roque told his friends his father could "fix anything." Rabies was one thing that proved beyond him. Six-year-old Ryker died at a Florida hospital Sunday, weeks after putting his hand in a bucket holding a bat his father had found, reports NBC News. Henry Roque says he specifically told his son not to touch the bat, but Ryker didn't listen, and ended up with a scratch. With his son in tears at the thought of getting a vaccine shot in case the bat had rabies, Roque avoided the hospital and thoroughly washed the scratch instead. It wasn't enough. A week later, Ryker told his parents he had a headache and his fingers were numb. "I picked him up and I put him on the ground and he fell right to the floor," Roque tells Today. "I could not believe this … I said 'Walk for me, Ryker,' and he couldn't walk." At a hospital, doctors told Roque that Ryker indeed had rabies and that cases are almost always fatal once symptoms appear. Doctors hoped placing the boy in a medically induced coma might allow his body to fight off the virus in an experimental treatment known as the Milwaukee protocol, which has saved two other children in the US, per NBC Miami. But that wasn't enough, either. Experts are now warning people to seek out a life-saving vaccine immediately after exposure to rabies and to limit possible exposure. In this case, the infected bat may have been in the Roque family's home for "a week or two prior to the boy going to the hospital," a Lake County sheriff tells the Orlando Sentinel. He adds a dog and cat were taken from the home to be tested for rabies, with the results not yet clear. (Rabies killed a woman shortly after she gave birth.)
