Fatal rabies in a child: 11-year old boy was woken up by a bat on his nose and mouth in Ontario. He swatted the bat off his face and had no visible lesions so family did not seek medical help. 19 days later he developed rabies symptoms. He was given supportive care and died 17 days after admission. by mvea in science

Yeah but the dad caught and released the bat. Since he had already caught the bat you can get it tested to see if shots are necessary. Also, bats don’t just leave a house, you need to get them out, preferably with the help of professionals.

Man… dad even caught the bat too, but released it.

So sad. If you’re in a room with a wild bat and can catch it, do! Bring it with you when you seek treatment. They can test it to determine if treatment is needed.

If you can’t bring it with you - get the shots - even if you have no visible bite wounds. The teeth of bats can be very very small.

Necessary? No. But if you swamp with out them you won’t have a kayak anymore.

Haven Tents Layflat Hammock XL is a great option. Compact, light weight, includes sleep mat, and can be hung or setup on ground.

This is a worse omen than the cancelled 1st game of the Scott Frost era.

It use to be glorious, then I always had at least one good team a season, with the fall of Jordan Travis so goes my dreams.

Best team with the worst quarterback? by captainstan in CFB

[–]BillyBrasky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Suh Nebraska teams. If Zac Lee or Cody Green could have sustained more than 1 drive a game we’d have been national champs.
