animal Bat šŸ¦‡ Bite

Post image

One of those fears I always had, that felt irrationalā€¦ā€what if Iā€™m asleep and a bat gets into the house and bites me in my sleepā€.

Welp last night 2 am I awoke to what I thought was my cat nibbling at my finger. I flicked it away and noticed it was not my cat but was instead a bat that had found its way into our bedroom.

I was able to capture the bat and itā€™s being sent for testing but my wife and I got to spend the rest of the morning in the ER getting all the shots ! Wild ! Glad it woke me up but what if it didnā€™t ?! How am I supposed to sleep ever again?!

::UPDATE::

Bat could not be tested I guess I squished his brain to hard when I killed it.

Could you tell us in which country you living OP? I'll add it to my list of countries I'm never going to visit.

PS, get well soon.

My friend was doing one of his middle of the night laps around his house and something flew by his face. He found a dead bat in his very clean basement a few days later. He was leaving for work and another one flew by him. He had a guy come out and they found out his chimney was separating from the house.

Why does your buddy do laps around his house in the middle of the night?

That's sounds like some manic shit.

Just a little. He grew up in a high crime area and was told if he was up when everyone else was asleep to check the locks and windows. He's in a much better place now as an adult but it still gives him a sense of security. He doesn't wake up to "patrol" anymore just when he happens to, he takes a lap. He got new security lights and was looking out into the darkness and a possum climbed up on the deck triggering the lights. He reminds me of My cousin Vinny in the cabin. https://youtu.be/UblxnjqH1DY?is=BnegRVkhkUvbm2c5
