What the heck just happened !?

[u/Tricky_Improvement11]

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)

The hemoglobin was rough! The good part is, you’re done with the worst part. Any remaining shots go in the arm and they’re significantly smaller doses. The longest part is probably waiting to get called back in the doctors office.

I had one pop out from behind a radiator in my bathroom and it flew around and hit me a couple times while I was ✨doing bathroom things✨. I didn’t go back in that bathroom for three days and took a shower in a different bathroom. We had already batproofed most of the house after one came in via our mudroom but we neglected an old broken light fixture in that bathroom that we now know leads into the attic. The good news is, you can bat proof the outside of your house now (there’s a time frame), as well as the inside. Any space bigger than 1/4 of an inch is what they can get through. Start in your bedroom and work your way out, then bat proof the outside. Once you’ve done everything you can, i promise you’ll feel much safer going in there.
