I was on here a little over 6 months ago about a stupid fear of exposure to rabies. As was predicted I haven’t died from rabies. Lol. To be honest with you I completely forgot about it and got on with my normal routines and have been good all the way up until a few days ago.
A few nights ago I was walking in and out of the house carrying groceries. I held the door open for about 15 seconds while I bent down and moved the stack of groceries from the front porch to the inside of the house. Afterwards for some stupid reason all I could think about was that I possibly let a bat fly in the house. We have bats around the house in the evenings. You can see them flying at dusk.
I didn’t see anything in the house. I just have this fear that one flew in. Anyways, I was sleeping last night and I woke up to this sharp feeling on the bottom of my foot, on the pad of the front part of your foot under my big toe. I sleep on top of the sheets and comforter in the summer. When I moved my foot I felt one of my cats at the foot of the bed and sat up and saw him laying there. I went to the bathroom and looked at the bottom of my foot and didn’t see anything. No marks or scratches.
Now the logical side says my cat likely bit or clawed at my foot, even though he has never done it before or if there was a bat by my foot, next to my cat, my cat would have been going ballistic over it. Also, the logical side says that if there was a bat in the house I would have seen it or been alerted to it by my 2 cats or my border collie. However, for some stupid reason i am worrying about a bat in my house that may have bit the bottom of my foot while sleeping. I worry because I remember reading before, when I had my first scare, that bat bites can be hard to detect and some people never knew they were bitten.
My wife says it was likely the cat and I agree with her but I have that little part of me that is doubting it. I have a little bit of sharp pin prick pain in the area but not bad. However, I don’t see any marks.
No need to reply if you don’t want to. I am just venting I guess.
