    Did it actually bite you? If not, I don't see how you would have anything to worry about. In college a friend of mine his a dog with his car. He stopped and got out to see if he could do anything for the dog as it was still alive. The dog bit him and then ran off. He ended up having the shots as a precaution.

      He never said that... Only that it ran into his arm and grabbed onto his shoulder. No biting was reported.

        True... I guess I assumed since he said it latched onto him and he sent it off... that it did bite him...
        Guess you aren't the only one to misread/ misinterpret what he said...


        Guess we'll just have to wait and see...

          I reckon the bat hit him since he looked like a big juicy mosquito on the sonar.

                  Yeah, but aren't your nightmares worth it if everyone else finds enjoyment out of it? Isn't OUR happiness what's really important here? Gosh... why's everybody gotta be so stingy all the time.. Me me me.

                    Will be? You mean... you aren't already?

                    lol


                    Okay... inquiring minds want to know... Did the bat actually bite you?

                    That was some story about your friend... our most sincere condolences... It's tough to lose someone at any age... but when you're at an age where you are still feeling invincible... reality sucks...

                                Hey Austin, and Xsives,

                                You can get rabies from exposure to the bats saliva, not necessarily a bite, like from an open wound, scratch, etc.! Secondly, according to the CDC, when a bat flies out in the daytime, or can not fly effectively, it's most likely infected with Rabies. It's fortunate that he was able to get the bat and have it tested. Better to be taking the treatment because you know you need it, than just as a preventative measure cause you might not be sure of exposure! Rabies is fatal to humans when it's not treated. Sorry you have to go thru this, but glad that medicine has this treatment available, the alternative isn't so nice!
