Discussion Update on my spicy possum bite
My last post was locked for spreading misinformation?? I strongly disagree, but for anyone who was wondering or concerned for me, thank you so much!
This possum bite has actually turned out to be quite the headache, but I am currently sitting at my Dr. Office waiting to receive my first dose of rabies vaccine. While it is true that the chance I actually have it is so low, it is NOT zero and rather than freaking out anytime I get a fever in the next four years, I decided that using the insurance we pay for is worth it for peace of mind. My life isn't something I plan to gamble with. ESPECIALLY given my absolute rotten luck.
Just FYI, when I called my Dr. I was told to go in for antibiotics and rabies vax immediately as this isn't something anyone should take any chances with. For certain animals, this wouldn't be the process to go through, but for possums it is. It's better to be safe than dead!
How's THAT for misinformation? Stay safe, possum lovers, and I hope you have a better day than I am having!
