My dad got bit by a bat last Friday morning. Lucky a friend was able to to catch the bat, as it was withing seconds of getting to the outdoors and freedom. A fast trip with my Dad and the bat to the health department when the bat was shipped out for rabies testing. The results came back Sat AM, and were negative, thank goodness. We were not looking forward to possible rabies shots. The 5 shot series beats the old 19 shot series, but I understand it's not a lot of fun.
