wow a bat flittered into me in my office hallway today, awkward flight like a moth, weighed practically nothing when it hit my leg. it was hairy and cute with black ears. i brought it outside. then i go on lemmy and see a fricken bat necklace.
A bat being active during the day and colliding with you is very abnormal behavior. If rabies exists where you are (this includes the UK for bats) see a doctor ASAP. Like, I wouldn’t go to bed without doing it. It’s possible for you to be bitten without feeling it because of how small they are, and disorientation is a sign of rabies in bats.
It’s totally fixable even if it did have rabies and bite you, you just have to go get a (normal, NOT in the stomach) post-exposure shot.
you're very right. i went and got the first shot. will need 4 total.
I’m glad you got seen by a doctor!
I mean, on the one hand, yes. But, we just missed out on the opportunity to relive the carbon monoxide Reddit saga in real time!
Edit: with a less happy ending, though.
We did it guys!
seriously, i'm realizing now this might have saved my life.
I'm glad we brought it up and glad you took it seriously!
