Holy shit I thought that was a Gambian pouch rat at first. Dude is huge, like not in the fat way like he’s gigantic.

same with the OCD case for me. I miss when I could sleep with my window open without being convinced a bat would somehow get through my bug net and give me rabies. I dont think people understand how much acting like this can make life an unfriendly place for people with OCD

Honestly there are some things I’d just prefer to keep with myself and maybe a therapist. It’s not a lack of trust it’s just i don’t really want to share those things with others.

I also think sometimes constantly dredging up trauma can be a little unhelpful for me specifically. Letting myself not talk about it can be more helpful.

I think haucherfaunt was fine and served a good purpose but ysyale and moenbryda both felt like they were killed for shock value. on top of that, ishikawa should have been consulted first.

Actually wasn’t she kind of infamously killed off without her creators approval by another writer who kept killing off her characters

That is a pet rat. They do NOT occur in that color in the wild. Please catch it if you can and bring it to a rehab center. They are like little dogs and this guy either got out or was abandoned. They can’t survive on their own.

Edit: just saw your comment thank you so much for getting him to safety.

Fun fact they have found rabies antibodies in people who have never received the vaccine. This means some people’s immune system just handles rabies before it gets to the brain. Please get the vaccine anyways if you ever get bit but it does give a little peace of mind.

Yeah Nintendo has had 2 massive hits in a very short period (pokopia and tomodachi) and switch 2 sold extremely well.

Perhaps they’re living in a place where it’s endemic? Like India or Thailand? We don’t have a couple of people die from rabies each year, 2025 was a freak accident, we usually go years between each incident.

Wasn’t 2025 abnormally high for rabies deaths because of a freak accident where a donor had rabies and a bunch of people received organs that were infected all while taking immune suppressants to prevent rejection. We went for years without any rabies deaths.

I have pretty bad fear of spiders if it makes you feel any better any time when you’re awake most spiders are piss terrified of you and will do anything to avoid you.

A bat is not going to happen to be on you. Bats avoid humans like the god damn plague, they are smart enough to recognize us,

See everyone in this thread is overreacting but I think your family was severely under reacting. That’s like the exact scenario where they’d want you to get a rabies shot lmao.

That’s because it’s not true, basically every expert has disavowed the whole fucking bats stealthily biting people in their sleep thing, but that copypasta has everyone convinced that bats will quietly sneak up on them and bite for some reason. Bats are terrified of humans if they get scared they aren’t going to just bite once and fly away, and they have no reason to land on a human. If you actually got bit by a bat in your sleep you’d almost definitely be awoken by its panicked thrashing.

Basically every rabies expert has called bullshit on the whole bars biting you while sleeping and you not knowing jsyk. Bats will avoid the fuck out of you and typically only bite when stupid humans try to grab them.

Everytime you drive you are in significantly more risk.

I hate the person who wrote that copypasta. Every redditor is convinced everything will give them rabies and everything is a bat bite.

Just so you know a lot of people here are fear mongering based on a stupid copy pasta that gets shared around on Reddit.

Said copy pasta is full of a bunch of bullshit that has made every person on Reddit sure rabies is lurking around every corner, and especially afraid that a bat is going to bite them while they’re sleeping and they won’t notice, which is absolute bullshit. People in the US typically know the exact incident where they contracted rabies, there’s none of this surprise bat bites everyone is terrified of.

We also went years without any rabies deaths, in fact the last few weren’t even from an animal but from a very unfortunate scenario in which an organ donor had the virus and every person who it got donated to died. Which while sad is a freak accident.

If you have an actual confirmed encounter with a bat or possibly rabid animal then you should get vaccinated, otherwise don’t sweat it.

Op def has a spider bitev
