Guy I worked with got bit by a bear in Idaho. Was sleeping by the fire and woke up to it clamped on his thigh. Had to get the series. Said it wasn't too bad.

My Dad got them when he was a kid, the stomach ones, he said it was painful.

I got the newer series in the butt cheek and arms. But it was probably 30 years ago now. I remember being a bit stiff in the arms and legs but not much else.

Get test result?

I had the shots last year. My immune globulin cost 37k for the first one and 100 bucks each for the vaccine shots given at day 0,3,7,and 14 for a total of 4 vaccine shots.

Yes sir.

👍🏻 Best damn Vet School in the Nation! I worked at the Vet School and Lab Animal Research part time while going to school there. It’s grown so much since I left there.

The flying rodent came back neg. Batboy ain't gotta get any shots.

Phew.....Wasn't to worried, but damn if rabies don't give me the creeps.

Good. I’m happy to hear that.

Always wondered if hydrophobia was real


Had a guy stank so bad on my roofing crew, wondered if he had rabies.

It is, and it ain't pretty.

Great news!

Great news! 🙂

I seem to recall a series of regular shots for rabies (4?) before I went to Africa in ‘80.

Dog rabies is common there. Once I was eating inside a walled compound outside in my village and the sound of dog paws passed by, followed by running feet and the cry of ONNIOOO!!! (mad dog). They chase em down with poles or ladders, anything long enough to pin the dog down so they can whack it with machetes.

A little girl in the next village got bit but fortunately they had the gamma gobulin/whatever in stock at the mission hospital I worked at.

From what I was told by the hospital staff watching someone die of rabies ain’t pleasant, especially if you don’t have the supplies to render them unconscious until they pass.

While I was over there a British girl working in Egypt had a stray dog lick a scratch on her leg from under a table in the market. She didn’t think anything of it but that was all it took.
