Rabies immune globulin is weight based, so the bigger you are, the more will be given. They’ll also administer the rabies vax today, then on days 3, 7, and 14 post initial vax. This can all be done in an ER. Good luck!

The bat's behavior would suggest that it was ill.

You know this, so go start the post exposure process now.



Also say a little thanks to Michael Scott for taking rabies seriously & organizing a fun run for science.

and now we have patient 0 for Nipah virus in the US
Pretty sure he was patient 0 for Covid-19. This will make typhoid Mary look like the Mettenburgers of Joe Burrow's.

You are the second person in 3 days speaking about getting rabies from possible animal contact.



Suffice it to say...the odds are hugely in your favor.

Did you drive a wooden pecan stake through its heart?

You got some mad lady cursing you. Call an exorcist. And have your friends buy some sharp wooden stakes just in case.

I've always liked the IDEA of having a bat house, but I don't think I could ever do it, despite the good mosquito control they could bring.


Purple Martin house for the win.

Glad to read you did not have intercourse with the bat so at least you will not be the patient zero for the next coronavirus.

Is rabies protocol still intraperitoneal- shots in the stomach?

No. First round of shots are one vaccine shot in the arm and a certain amount of immune globulin in the bite and around the body in the arse, thighs, and arms. From there it's a single shot in the arm on days 3, 7, and 14. The immune globulin shots suck because it's a giant needle, but it's otherwise not too bad.
