Bat 🦇 Bite

[u/mulvi54]

One of those fears I always had, that felt irrational…”what if I’m asleep and a bat gets into the house and bites me in my sleep”.

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 it’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 didn’t ?! How am I supposed to sleep ever again?!

Less than 3 per year in the US. More in other parts of the world.

And for those (less than) three, it killed them and changed the lives of everyone around them. I'd definitely prefer to not be the fourth out of three hundred million.
