“ATTACK SQUIRREL BEWARE!” one reads (with significantly more exclamation marks). “The squirrel went from the floor and tried to jump up to my face, I tried to protect my face, my arm was completely overcome by the squirrel. How do you get a squirrel attached to your leg off?” The squirrel clawed and bit her, causing enough damage to send her to the emergency room, too. Details of the attack align with the incidents involving Campoy and Heblack, though their names weren’t mentioned. Lisa Bloch, director of marketing and communications for Marin Humane, suggests the same squirrel was involved in both reported attacks.
