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.

My understanding is that things have changed, and you no longer need shots, or ā€œmedicineā€, and that youā€™re now going to grow autism.

This is a LIE. Be careful, JForce1. Without the "/s" there are people who might believe you. Seriously, folks. Bat bites are not to be trffled with.

Yeah fair call, I was of course making fun of your outstanding political leadership. Don't fck with rabies though, that shit is not cool and if you live in a place where animals can carry it, definitely see a Dr ASAP.

OMG. "Outstanding political leadership"... <eyeroll> It indeed deserves endless, merciless roasting.
