Those shots are not cheap either. We found a bat had been in our bedroom at night when we visited my in laws and I saw it fly over us several times.
They didn’t catch it so we didn’t know if the bat had rabies. We hadn’t been bitten, but you can get the virus dropped in your eyes or nose and it is basically 100% fatal.
With those odds, you go through the 3 shot protocol. It was basically $1k per shot for each of us. We have solid insurance but they were not covered because they are so rare.
- djhn 5y agoSurely covering rare events is the whole point of insurance! (I know US medical insurance is different)
- dave_sullivan 5y agoAmericans have been fucking themselves for so long that they don't even care if it makes sense anymore.
- option 5y agoThat sounds ridiculously cheap. I got bitten by the squirrel and went to the emergency room only to be told that they don’t do rabies shots after squirrel bites. The price I paid for 15 min visit? - $3,500.
