Rabies is no joke. Quarantine the animal. Call animal control. Bats are a known reservoir for the disease in the US (assuming you’re in the US).

If there is even a chance you got bit the CDC says you get shots.

Don’t take chances with stuff like this.

It's not like they were taking naps outside they found it in a outdoor pool and probably got it out with a pool rake. They would know if they were bit in this situation.

Lots of people get bitten by bats and don’t know. You are supposed to assume you were bitten if you come in close contact.

It’s amazing that people lack the ability to comprehend that an immigrant worker making $7.25 an hour could make a typo. There are really two options here, use your cognitive abilities and realize when it expires or drink it forever since it never passed the date.

it was retracted due to a copyright issue not because the dats is incorrect

Um... that article has been retracted. Says so at the top of it.

Remind me, does February 30 occur on leap years, or ordinary years?

They aren’t likely to carry rabies, however if you find one away from the rest of its group it may have rabies. They typically stay in groups but if one gets rabies they shun it from the pack.

OP posts that he found it in his pool...he didn't say the bat landed on him or bit him why tf would he need to begin a vaccine regimen?...you gotta be telling me that just by looking at a bat he's gonna catch rabies...or by grabbing it out of the pool with a pool net on an 8 foot pole is somehow gonna splash the rabies virus on him or something,I know I sound really condescending but I'm genuinely asking you why do you assume Op needs to get on some type of rabies vaccine regimen when his post clearly stated they found it in their pool?

My first assumption without any other information is that OP saved the Bat's life by grabbing it with what I assume is something attached to a pole from a safe distance...but thats just what I assume to be a normal thought process,but you went and gave the whole super safety lecture-gram about OP NEEDING to get the rabies vaccine...why?

theres have been 29 rabies survivors

I guess it’s good forever

looks fake, tbh.

This should have said “fur-iends come in all shapes and sizes”

You are a good person but unfortunately rabies won’t care about that - please get checked immediately.

I know someone who was on a treatment plan because a bat was found in the cabin he was staying in, he didn’t even touch it and still had to be treated for rabies.

your certainly doesnt

Came for the scaredy-cat rabies comments... Not leaving disappointed lol

Bat in pool... Rabies Friendly fox on back porch... Rabies Pissed off dog... Rabies Cat bite you?.... Rabies

The building is ok'ish. But that grass definitely needs an uplift.

Not OP, but apparently it is that company's first time trying to set up dates without a calendar.
