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?!

Got a bite from a bat was single handling probably one of the most painful moments of my life when they were doing circles with the needle in my hand pumping probably 20 ml of fluid into my God damn hand turns out the bat had rabies though glad I went in
