[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bitten while asleep? Oh dear. In theory, then, there could have been previous bats that flew in and later flew out and I got bit and never, ever knew. I have never seen a bat in my bedroom. Cat is up to date. Cat got within 5-6 inches of the bat but no contact, the bat was actually under the metal basket when it chattered at the cat.

CDC records 10 cases of bat rabies infections in people since 2008, 2 survived (one got sick a month later and ended up in hospital, they thought it was Epstein-Barr but family mentioned the bat and she had rabies--she did survive. 22 people had to get vaccinations).

The creepy thing for me is that they fly around WITH NO SOUND. A bird's wings would make noise, bats not at all.

As low as the odds are of contracting rabies, you will not find an animal control officer or medical professional that will tell you it's ok to skip the shots if you have an exposure. An exposure is either a known bite or scratch or being in the room asleep with a bat. The shots aren't bad, the worst part is that you have to go to the hospital 4 times to get them. [/quote]
