Bitten By a Bat?

[#juan]

Yesterday morning early, about 2:am, we were awakened by what we thought was a bird hitting the bedroom window, turned out to be a bat.. my wife is scared to death of the damned things. What we thought was a bird, turned out to be a bat. flying round and round in our bedroom at ceiling height. I finally hit it with a broom and the bat was unmoving on the flour. My first big mistake was trying to pick it up and the bat bit into my right index finger.........hurt like hell.......now I was bleeding as well as being pissed off at this damned animal. I eventually put a box over the bat and things quieted a little. My second mistake was carrying the bat outside and letting it go. If we had kept the bat, it could have been determined whether or not the animal had Rabies and I wouldn't have had to go through a whole program of painful Rabies shots like I'm doing now. I'll keep you all updated on the treatment.

Sorry about your luck. Sometimes in the panic of the moment one cannot easily see your mistakes. But I see you have identified them in hindsight. I don't envy you your treatments but Rabies is even worse.

All right, let's just get this out of the way first shall we?

Have you noticed a sudden aversion to sunlight? Have you lost the desire to eat garlic? Do small spindly pieces of wood send shivers up your spine?



Seriously though that sucks (no pun intended), I understand the shots to be quite the ordeal. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

But you should really try to milk the whole vampire thing cuz who has the opportunity to do that often in their lives.

I never made the vampire connection. I guess I haven't watched enough Twilight.

That is a good thing.

The shots are unpleasant, but not nearly as bad as I thought they might be. So far I've had about eleven assorted needles with at least that many to come, mostly in my rump,

Geez neither have I (watched Twilight that is). Vampires and bats are classic Dracula 101, lol.

Yeah, that doesn't sound all that bad. Unless I suppose if someone were afraid of needles.

Only those who can see their own *** would have to be fearful. Circus people and gymnasts for example.

The wardrobe is incredibly expensive, though.

Hope it goes OK, juan. And SLM's right. Long as you're in this predicament, might as well go around staring at people's necks, just to freak 'em out a little.

Well, my eye teeth do seem to be getting longer and I do have a strong desire to nuzzle the neck of the the blond woman just down the block............on the other hand, I had that desire long before I got bit by the bat........:lol:

So what is stopping you? You can claim rabies if it doesn't work out.

 

[talloola]

why so many needles, seems a bit over the top.

a bat came into our house in surrey many years ago, we ran around with a fish net till we caught it,
happily, no bites.

Better than the alternative if the bat was rabid. Good on ya Juan for taking it seriously.

No doubt..

No doubt..

Yeah, when you consider that Rabies, untreated, is just about a hundred percent fatal, there is not much choice......:smile:
