Here in Texas it isn't uncommon to have a bat get in the house every now and then. The rule of thumb is usually that if you wake up and discover a bat in the house that morning or during the day to automatically go to the doctor or hospital and get rabies vaccines. Sometimes you can be bitten by a bat while sleeping and wake up with no significant pains or marks. Bats are usually the main culprit of carrying rabies. Once you start feeling the first signs and symptoms of rabies getting the vaccines wont help and it is almost always a death sentence. Although there was a girl who was cured of rabies by being put into a medically induced coma while the major symptoms of the rabies passed. She is the only known survivor of rabies. she was also bitten by a bat and decided not to get the vaccine afterwards.
yes I saw that story and it kind of freaked me out...I dint realize rabies was so common and there are a lot of rabid animals found around here every year. I just saw the animal control pick up a raccoon that looked drunk a few weeks ago. Thousands of people in Asia and Africa die of rabies per year.
IIN that Im terrified of rabies?

You are probably completely rabid. You have infected many people unknowingly, you carrier.
