Rabies is 100% fatal if untreated with prophylactic shots. Bats are actually one of the most common vectors for rabies to humans.

It's a pretty brutal, pitiful way to die, too.

Someone needs to watch that kid and make sure he doesn't get nibbly.

Anytime a bat bites or is aggressive, it probably has aids. I've seen kids pick up and play with a bat that was dive bombing them injured itself. No amount of talking could convince those kids how stupid it is to play with a bat. Keep in mind, a person can get rabies from a carrier without being bitten.

Coons that walk around your yard during the day are also prime suspects for having rabies.

Of course, it could also be AIDS.

No it hasn't, not even before 1985.

They gave you a bunch of big shots into your stomach and it sucks a lot, but it was not fatal.

That's if you get treatment BEFORE symptoms start. Once they start, that means the virus was irreversible and 100% fatal.

Until recently.

Skunks too! Pretty much if you see a skunk in the daytime, it's a rabid skunk. Skunks are so prone to rabies that populations of skunks in areas run in cycles: big increase in population, rabies occurs, die off decreases population drastically, rebound and repeat.

Another sign in skunks besides just being about in daylight for rabies, when approached they will face their attacker instead of turning to spray. Makes it really easy to kill them with a .22 when they stand head first looking up at ya from 10 feet away. Put the bullet in just under the chin and it comes out their butthole.

Sounds like you need to move to a better neighborhood.
