    Lots of people sending me their encounters with bats after this morning’s story and let me tell you, there are MANY weird encounters one can have with a bat. Or raccoon. Or skunk.

        I work in public health in Montana. This one bat-related incident caused the entire national supply of rabies vaccine to be depleted in 2008. 😬 https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5820a1.htm …

        We had a bat in our house. You only get one chance to decide about rabies shots. If you get rabies, you die.

        I was bit by a wild dog in Mexico & the CDC's rabies expert suggested I get treatment. I paid for one round then had to choose between paying for more or staying in Mx. I declared myself rabies free, stayed in Mexico, and WAS HUGELY RELIEVED a year later to still be alive.

        My scariest: went into my bathroom and happened to peek down to see a bat IN THE TOILET. After I shrieked, ran out, went back in with a towel, I saw that it had drowned and was floating there, wings outspread. 😱

        My kid woke up with a bat in her room. The bat needed to be dead to test it for rabies. The suggested execution method? Drown it.

        I have a raccoon story that is my daughter's favorite. She has adapted it into at least 5-6 school assignments over the year, including writing it as a ballad poem.

        A bat changed my dad's life last year. He fell off a ladder trying to catch one in the house, and was laid out for a week on very strong drugs (opioids, of course). My stepmom got bit in the process and had to get a shot. They missed our daughter's birth because of it.

        Great article, but I was surprised you referenced the U.K. rabies prices without noting the context that rabies is virtually unknown here.

        The most recent U.K. originating infection was in 1922! I’d have assumed this extreme rarity plus the short drug shelf life would have made

        it more expensive to treat here. Surprised it’s not! And that these drugs are even available here in wide circulation.

        Bat flew down my nightgown one night and got caught on the lace of the gown. Never forgot that night. Thought you'd like to know
