rabies

USA, no vaccination. My city does not see bats very often, but my county where I live sees rabid bats sometimes. So yesterday at 10:30 AM, I was outside cleaning the inside of my car and my feet were kinda under the vehicle but not all the way in. I cleaned my vehicle and did not feel any pain...

Hi guys, so to be short, I live in the West coast of the USA and had no vaccination for rabies. We have a rabid bats in my county that are found but in my city specifcially, bats just avoid or they just don't come into contact with us because i have never seen them in my life, but my county sees...

So I was very calm this past few weeks not thinking about rabies or bats again but something happened a few days ago. Hi guys, so a few days ago, i was at a movie theater with a friend watching a new movie. I am from USA and bats are not common around where I live but sometimes they are found...

Something got into my nose after seeing a thing that resembled a bat. Possible rabies saliva. Hi guys, I am new at this and i just wanted to ask a question and see if i have to worry about anything. I live in USA, in western coast and the most common species of bats in my county are Mexican...

Could it have been a bat that bit me??? Could i have been exposed to a bat?? Hi guys, so cutting straight to the chase. I am from USA and i live somewhere where bats are known to be rabid but fortunately they are controlled and people just dont get bit or meet them. I was at work yesterday...

Hi, so a bat got into my place of work on Sunday. It ended up flying on my leg (I was wearing jeans) and crawling up it until my coworker got it off, etc. My boss told us to release it so we did. To my knowledge, neither of us was bit and other than it flying onto my leg, neither of us touched...

It all started when I saw 2 dots on my forehead. I was afraid of bats and rabies before, but now it's serious . Right now I think I have rabies and I can't sleep because of the stress. If someone is recovering from this disease, can help ? I would also be glad if you could answer my questions...

Hello, I live in a city center in Turkey and I have never seen any rabies cases related to bats here until now. I don't remember being bitten by a bat or having a bat approach me until now, but yesterday I saw 2 small dots on my forehead, which could also be a simple acne, but I'm still afraid...

Hi y’all, so i will try explain why i am worried. Today my kitchen drawer where we store knives and forks, got stuck because a large knife was stuck in the drawer and it was not opening properly. So i had to put my hand in there to try to move the knife and after 25 minutes it worked. Now after...

Possible bat bite, scared of rabies. Hi guys, so i will cut to the chase. It was 5:30 P.M. and it was still very cloudy and very much light outside. I was in my friend's car chatting with him and decided to get out of the car and while getting out i felt my hair on top of my head getting...

I was walking out of a convenience store at a populated rest stop and walked underneath a large tree. A very tiny drop of something hit my lower lip, could this have been saliva from a bat? I didn’t see any bats. For context it was a sunny day at 2pm in Florida and this was a populated rest...

Hi guys, so one month ago, I developed a rabies fear from bats. I live in a city where there are no bats, there are, but we don't see them. But still, I am afraid of them. I was researching bats when I learned about rabies, and that is where my fear started. I read that you could be bitten...

Hi guys. So, a while back, I had a bite, and I thought something rabid bit me, and that is when my fear of rabies started. I almost got out of it until a couple of days ago. This is another thing that happened to me that I think I may have been exposed to rabies and that I may be gone in two...

Hi Guys, So I will try my best to keep this short. A month ago, I found out that something bit my foot. It hurt a lot, and it looked like a spider bite. Fast forward to yesterday, I developed a dry throat, dry cough, and low fever, muscle aches. When I try to sleep, I constantly swallow my...

I was inspired by jay_03's posts about his rabies fear, so I decided to post about mine. It all began in July of this year, I was at my dad's house, and I was playing with one of his cats, and I remembered that sometime between March and May, she was playfully nibbling my finger, I then started...

I'm writing this because I don't know how else to deal with the impending doom. On the 25th of August 2022, I brought home a 2-month old bunny. Because she did not come from the cleanest place, I brought her to vet on 2nd of September just to make sure everything checked out. Everything was...

I'll keep this short because I want to make it concise -- I work on a farm and the TL;DR of it is that I was closing tobacco sheds earlier this evening when my sister and her friend (who were also closing the sheds) had an encounter with a bat that flew at them that may or may not have been...

Hello everyone, I've had an irrational fear of rabies for as long as I can remember. Recently, I was cleaning out my basement when I felt something hit my back. I was wearing earbuds at the time so I didn't hear anything from my surroundings. Now, I'm concerned it could've been from a rabid bat...
