This past weekend I was out in the canyons hiking- I climbed up a split rock ( similar to Star Wars style, it was about 45 degree angle, very slippery like Slate or shale very very small cracks but a few- the rock had sharp angles ( think a stark cut ledge) that I could grab and pull myself Up- it was super bright out and being baked in direct sun, don’t think normal canyon think a palm oasis with these kinds of rocks lower on the ground when there is a break in the trees- it’s a very unique place…I turned around and sat on it using my hands to brace me and then took a few photos of my family down below. When I was done I noticed 2 small red marks on my palm… here is the thing…this Canyon is known for housing many bats, in the palm trees but canyon bats are known to roost in rocks.
Would I know if I was bit? I looked very carefully and paid attention to where I was putting my hands the entire time I mean I we putting all my weight on my fingers/ palms to brace myself but if a bat was under my hand I would have known right? I keep thinking I might have missed a crack and it could come up to bite and go back in..and I didn’t notice cause my hands were already being strained.
I know.. I’ve been here before and if it’s to an consolation I’m a lot better at managing my anxiety..I usually go less deep into it now and am able to talk myself out of it but it’s nagging me and I just want someone’s outside thought. If you were bit would you know?
