Okay guys... today I was at the beach... my family kept feeding this squirrel that kept hanging around.. she was really thin but had what looked like her mammary glands hanging down from feeding babies...
Anyway.. I tried to stay away but then gave in - she came up next to me and I began to motion my hand down to throw chips at her... my other friend had been feeding her from his hand.. yeah no not me...
Anyway... she got eager and lunges forward to grab the chip from me.. it all happened so fast but her little hands grabbed my fingers and then I pulled them away...not sure what part of her touched me.. I don’t think her mouth.. definitely her hands tho...
My friend who is a nurse checked me and said he saw absolutely no breaks in the skin.
Do I need to worry about rabies?
The cdc says it’s incredibly rare in squirrels... and so do most other sites... but then there’s a few websites that say it’s rare but could happen... again no visible marks whatsoever..
