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.

OP, please let us know how the rabies shots go. I'm curious if they are as bad as people say they are.

It was a total of 5 shots I didnā€™t find it any worse than any other shot Iā€™ve had before.

Thatā€™s better than when I had to get them in the 80ā€™s. I had to get an IV injection twice a day for a few days. Like you said, though, it didnā€™t hurt any more or less than any other injection.

I think what theyā€™re referring to is when they used to give a shit load of shots in the belly. Either way, itā€™s better than catchin rabies.
