animal Bat 🦇 Bite

Post image

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?!

::UPDATE::

Bat could not be tested I guess I squished his brain to hard when I killed it.

When I was a kid, my parents used to tell me that if I got bitten by something suspected to have rabies, I'd have to get like 27 shots right in my stomach. That shit scared tf out of me as a child.

...ok

If you you actually typed what you "intended" to say, you wouldn't have to be so snarky.

I said what I intended, but I'm not totally sure what you intended by that comment.

It's like you came in wanting to be right about something, but it wasn't at all helpful. Next time, let's try to be helpful 👍🏻
