Purchased a group of slides online. All are supposed to be from Canada, but seem to date from different times in the 1950s and 1960s and I'm not sure if they're from the same source or the seller combined them from several sources (I suspect the latter).

Exactly, just like Hannibal Lecter, although I know it’s fiction, but he was an esteem doctor and artist, but also a blood sucking murder who ate human flesh! When both dualities of beauty and horror come together in human beings fellow man becomes stunned by another’s acts, but also become deeply fanatical about atrocity. (Read JG Ballards novel “crash” and you’ll know what I mean).

>but it's only because of how seriously we take rabies here

Specifically, it's because we mandate rabies vaccines for dogs. Worldwide, 99% of rabies deaths in humans are caused by dogs. Once you get about 70% of the dog population vaccinated, and keep it there, human deaths drop to essentially zero.

Hey OP, here's what the CDC says to do in your exact situation:

Rabies is a fatal disease. A tiny, sometimes unnoticeable bite can transmit rabies. It can also be prevented after bites with a vaccine.
