Re: A Batty Story from the PoolDoc
I hate to be truly GROSS...but I used to work for a veterinary lab where we tested for rabies all the time. The test involves removal of the animals' brain, and if it has been dead too long, the brain is too decomposed to test. That was probably the case with the bat. I also agree that there is virutally nothing to worry aobut in this case, as the virus, if it even existed, was too dilute to do any real harm. Also, the shots are not painful...except in the pocketbook. They are VERY expensive. But they have not given "shots in the belly" for decades, All shots are given in in the arm, just like any other shot.
