re: #8 Anymouse 🌹

One should be careful around bats. Many bats carry rabies.

The case of the girl who survived rabies through experimental treatment came about because she wanted to shoo a bat out of a church and was bit.

What he said. If rabies is endemic where you are, you need to get vaccinated ASAP (it’s nothing like what the treatment used to be).

ETA: even if you didn’t touch it while you were awake, check with your doctor to see what you need to do.
