If you capture the bat, they can test the bat for rabies instead of treating you.

Been there. Happened to me in grad school but I woke up to a bat on my leg. Thing with bats ks you can’t tell if they bit you because their teeth leave little baby pinpricks that look like damn near everything else that bites, including mosquitoes.
I got a bill for $13,000. Basically 1000 for every shot to the ass they gave me. I had to pay it from my student loans. Yay America.

And leave that poor bat with $13,000 of medical debt!?

The rabies test requires decapitation, so don’t worry, the debt went to the bat’s widow.

What a bunch of assholes.
Sorry, had to do it

I would have graduated, got a job overseas, and just left the debt in America.
