Bat bite requires trip to ER, Rabies treatment By Donna Rieder What I thought was a leaf in Ivy's water bucket was actually a bat, and when I scooped it out, it bit me. There are only 6 recorded instances of humans surviving Rabies. Symptoms can occur within 1 day, and since Rabies is fatal (THE most deadly disease in the world), if anyone gets bit or scratched by a wild animal, get to the Emergency Room as soon as possible and get the vaccines started. Emergency rooms are required to have the vaccine on hand at all times, but not doctor's offices nor clinics. I got bit on Monday and started the series right away. Thankfully times have changed and the shots go in the arm and not the belly! I called the health department immediately, used leather gloves to secure it in a box. The health department called UK, they called the Vet who stuck the bat in the freezer overnight and then sent it to Frankfort where it is now for testing. This story was posted on 2023-08-16 22:21:06
