                                Over 75% of all emerging human infectious diseases are zoonotic in origin, meaning they come from animals. The consumption of bats, a known reservoir for many highly pathogenic viruses, poses an extreme and potentially fatal health risk, making the question of 'what happens if you eat too much protein bats?' entirely irrelevant compared to the life-threatening diseases you could acquire.
