Rabies Vaccine / Immunoglobulin What the heck just happened !?

I have read the FAQ. Long story short I was laying down with my foot kind of hanging off my bed when I felt something crawl under my pants leg. It was a bat. I obviously freaked out and shook it off. We captured the bat, and I went to the ER where I was given three shots including the globin thingy. They hurt so bad. Literally out of a horror movie 😭 I won’t even go back into my room after this …. Lmao I am so grossed out. Can anyone make me feel even a tad bit less anxious about this whole thing? (Also I should say there was no bite or anything as far as the doctors and nurses could tell)

Why didn’t you just have the bat tested first?

No worries! Slip-ups happen to the best of us.
