Oof, yeah, I've heard the treatment for it is no fun. When I lived in Ecuador for a year in college we had to get a series of three "preventative" rabies shots in case we got bit by something...we were told they would basically just give us a little extra time to get to the hospital (which was an hour away) so I can't imagine how intense the actual treatment would have been. Luckily I didn't have to find out.
Always better to have it and not need it than the other way around!
Honestly I've been trying to find out forever why rabies shots, particularly the older ones that involved a couple dozen jabs right in the stomach, had to be so insanely excruciating, why they couldn't just give you a normal shot, and I have. Had. No. Luck. Whatsoever. Seriously, why does this information seem to be hidden under lock and key? Was the guy who invented the thing just an evil sadist, what? If anybody knows this, please tell me, it's been driving me crazy!
That or (*pops on tinfoil hat*) the government knows something deep, dark, and secret about the side-effects of such shots. I hear rumors... rumors that it's been stored on a freighter bound for Europe... rumors that the shot had a nasty side-effect. Something about a horrible rash........
Haha, aww...I imagine a turkey could be very scary to someone that small.
You'd be right. It was as bad as Godzilla to a little tyke!
Also that weather is CRAZY! We aren't having anything like that, but I did think it was strange to be reading facebook posts by some of my extended family in Colorado about dangerous driving conditions when it was 70 F and sunny here today.
It is sooooo strange! I mean, yeah, Kansas has bipolar weather, but this is literally over the top nuts! I always find it fascinating how unpredictable weather can be at times, and how odd it can look with the stark contrast in temps and precipitation, wind chill, etc. between two nearby regions.
