When I got my rabies shots to do bat work years ago i remember the nurse that gave the shots told me the story of one of her first patients out of med school who died of rabies. Apparently, he was actually bit a bat that flew into his tent when he was camping and he didn't end up going to a doctor about it until it was too late and he slowly died. This was in canada. We've had deaths more recently than the USA from rabies. It sounds like a horrible way to die. She gave me shit for going to work with bats...even after getting the shots... Rabies is pretty intense. Even after being vaccinated you still need to get a titer shot every few years to keep your level of antibodies high enough to fight off the virus if you're exposed to it.
