Asking idiots to stop laughing at serious posts is a valid point , its embarrassing when adults are talking and the younger ones are sat there just laughing in the back ground with nothing to say or add to the discussion

When was the last time that you got bitten by a rat ? This adult here had already been to the hospital and this adult here wasn't asking advice , although I was king of hoping some people would state that it was a very common happening and nothing to worry about , taking into consideration that I was contemplating that I could be dead by next week

You do actually have three days to get the first shot

If you put you muscles back inside your shirt and keep your mouth closed and read what was written, you would have noticed that I wasn't actually asking what to do and that I'd already been to the hospital and I wasn't asking "what to do" Engage you brain before your muscles in future , thanks

The Rabies immune globin is only for people who are previously unvaccinated , those who have previously been vaccinated don't need the RIG . The 20 000 Baht price tag may have been from a private hospital I got mine for about 2-3000 Baht from a Government hospital .

Was your friend really big ? The amount of vaccine is given according to the recipients and the bigger the recipients weight , the higher the costs

Yes, they can also make that vaccine from horses , but I am allergic that that vaccine and i needed to get the vaccine made from Humans , which is rare and difficult to get hold and that's why I had to go to four different hospitals to find it and they injected it straight into the open wound about six times to spread the vaccine around a bit . Needle into the teeth marks

About ten Doctors/Nurses from four different hospitals all said the same thing (and two of those were Government hospitals where the Doctors wouldn't have financially benefited ) and prescribed the same treatment , which is either an amazing coincidence or they all conspired with each other.........................or it was the required treatment . Its common knowledge that if you get bitten by a species of animal that carries rabies , that you need to get a rabies vaccine , you don't need a university degree to know that

I the last 30 0r 40 years , many houses in the UK have got double glazing doors and windows , insulated roofs and insulated walls and open vents filled in and centrally heated

There are 22 million odd houses in the UK , how many do you "know" ?

From neighbouring India which shows the extent of rat bites and how it causes rabies and how vaccines are preventing deaths in rat bit victims "Rising rat-bite cases, threat of rabies to Peshawarites PESHAWAR – The rising incidents of rat-bite have posed serious threat of rabies to the Peshawarites as about 426 cases in the provincial capital’s Lady Reading Hospital (LRH) were reported during last one week. Doctor Hina, who is dealing with the rat-bit patients at LRH told that the number of victims, referred to hospital for treatment, was daily increasing which was “alarming and unprecedented”. The children are the most vulnerable segment to rat-bite, who are mostly attacked at night, she added. “The rats carrying rabies virus were as dangerous as rabid dogs and a victim can die within 10 to 15 days,” she said, adding that “Fever, headache, vomiting, agitation, anxiety and hyperactivity are among main symptoms of rabid rats’ bite.” https://dailytimes.com.pk/84269/rising-rat-bite-cases-threat-of-rabies-to-peshawarites/

Reports from the USA , no human in the USA has been reported to have caught rabies from rats is what the CDC writes

My Grandparents used to cut one tree down every month to stick in the fire place to keep warm

If they were so happy living like that , why don't you do the same and live like that as well ?

CDC is in the US. The bitten person and his rat are in Thailand. Some old stuff: In the past, Srisongmuang et al. (1994) studied rabies carriers in rodents in Bangkok and adjacent areas and found 1% rabies positive in rat (4/384), 0 % in squirrel (0/52) and 20% in tree shrew (2/10). The report also referred to two studies by Puangsab and Lawhasawat who found 15% and 13% of rats positive to rabies in rats trapped from Chieng Mai and all over the country in 1964 and 1977 respectively. Other reports cited by Srisongmuang et al. included studies by Smith et al. (1968) who found 4% positive rabies in rodents and Sajaotz (1968) who found 8% rabies positive in rats in eastern part of Thailand. In contrast Sawasdikosol (1976) (cited in Srisongmuang et al., 1994). found no rabies in rodents from 3 provinces in the western and southern part of Thailand (Srisongmuang et al., 1994). In 1997 Kamoltham et al. (1997) studied a carrier status in dog, Hipposiderous bicolar bats and house rats in Petchaboon and found no rabies positive case. Another article, not quite so old, from 2006: rabies in rats in Petchabun https://academic.oup.com/jtm/article/9/2/106/1801447

My Grandparents used to burn coal and wood fires every night to heat the house and drove gas guzzling cars

The CDC doesn't say different . The CDC says that all mammals (rats) can carry Rabies and you should seek medical attention if bitten and the reason why so few humans contract rabies, is because they all seek medical attention and get vaccinated

It is also stated that the rats that bite people are rarely caught and thus they cannot say whether the rat was rabid or not .

Heres one from Thailand were a human got infected with rabies from a rat , a pet rabbit also got infected https://academic.oup.com/jtm/article/9/2/106/1801447

I have never mentioned the Washington post and I have never claimed that they have made any statements , you are lying about that

" Despite common belief, no rodent bites in North America have ever resulted in the transmission of rabies." That is in North America (I am in Thailand) were there are 1 or 2 cases of rabies in humans per year . There has been a rabies outbreak in Northern Thailand with 74 humans getting rabies this year already .

The rabies vaccine consists of four vaccinations over one month , so it wouldn't have made any difference had I gone there a few hours earlier

I have done so previously , and given an explanation of what he said and meant and that was ignored , no point in me saying the same thing again

I just try to make sure that I spend less than I gain per day
