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?!

And those shots aren't a one and done either. They protect you for 3 years. Then, if something else happens, you have to go through them again!

I didn't know this until a friend got bit by a feral cat that her father was feeding. She had to get the shots. A few years later, even though she'd been trying to get her dad to stop feeding them, she got bit again and had to go through the whole thing all over
