Re: Rabies in public place?
You have a reason for this, and a bat isn't it.
Take a breath and use your logic.
Re: Rabies in public place?
Uh I’m trying-just seeing those two marks and knowing they had a rapid bat a few months ago keeps circling around in my head
Re: Rabies in public place?
You cannot miss a bat biting you - it never happened to you and you need to address this irrational fear

Thanks again so much!
So you are guessing and have no proof of a rabid bat not a rapid bat

Wow okay sorry for the spelling error... you don’t need to try to make me feel any more stupid or anything... people come to this website wanting support and help- I get that it might seem lame to you... but we are all here with hangups.... just like some people worrying about als- when let’s be realistic...as to the likelihood of that disease as well. I’m sure you have some sort of “irrational fear” you’re dealing with....you’re part of this website to help right..? I’m not trying to be rude or challenge you... I’m just saying... most people in the world don’t get it- a lot of us come here to be open about issues and not be judged, I understand your coming from seeing a lot of stories... and just want to tell people they arnt seeing clearly, which we arnt — i guess I’m just asking for a little compassion in the mental struggle...
Re: Rabies in public place?
Aside from the occasional brain eating amoeba and some other minor niggles, rabies is your fear du jour. Your very first post was about a ninja bat over a year and a half ago. In that time, what have you done to help you rationalize some of these fantastical fears? There has to come a time when you write out a post, read it for yourself and say... nahhhh.... I know this is nonsense and forego posting it. I mean really, what do you expect? Do you really need strangers on a forum to tell you that?

Re: Rabies in public place?
Not trying to be cruel here, but seeking reassurance isn't healthy behaviour. If you're behaving in a ridiculous way, then a reminder is sometimes helpful - I know it is for me when I can't logic things out for myself.
Re: Rabies in public place?
The statistics on getting bitten by a rabid bat in Santa Barbara are zilch.
If you were on holiday in Asia or Africa you may have concern,but chances are unlikely
I do hope you are enjoying your holiday.
Re: Rabies in public place?
Yes I know... but I mean twice this week they have found two rapid bats in commercial areas in Orange County California... which is where I lived- super populated... so clearly it’s not that far fetched
