Mormolin Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) Hello! I am curious to have your opinion about the dangerousness and odds of rabies transmission from bats in Thailand. This evening, I was fixing something on my rooftop and I didn't notice a bat that suddently flew away very fast because I disturbed it. The bat was maybe at 3-4 feet away from me, and I didn't have direct contact with it. And then, it was inevitable, my hypocondriac brain start spinning and I asked myself : What if while flying away, some saliva of the bat could have came in some way in contact with my mouth. I know the odds are probably very low, but who knows! My girlfriend and I are now wondering if we need to get post-exposure vaccine or if I am just totally freaking out for absolutely nothing.

RichardColeman Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 More likely to get rabies from the dog sat inside the 7/11 by the hot dog counter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 The odds are way, way below low. You are being ridiculous. And I doubt you could persuade any clinic to give you post0-exposure rabies vaccine based on this (non) "exposure". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPMMUU Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 The odd are very low. You can get preexposure rabies vaccine if you want to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
