BatBite,
I was bitten by a bat too, what are the odds. (Maybe we should start playing lotto instead. Haha
I was walking my dog in phoenix at dusk and I saw the bat, thought nothing of it. Figured he'd fly on to his next spot!
Next thing I know something is flapping in my face unrelentingly and I'm swatting away and feel a tiny little prick. Went inside and saw two puncture wounds (which are still on my thumb to this day)
I am pretty sure it was rabid or it wouldn't have attacked me like that. My dog is current on vaccs so she had a booster to be safe. (She didn't even feel her rabies shot at the vet- lucky dog. Lol)
You should see the reactions I get from people when I tell them the story and show the bite 😵 🦇
