@NYTmag Seriously, if there is a bat inside your home, or there is a sick bat near you, disregard this article and call the health department for advice about rabies testing (for the bat) or rabies post-exposure vaccination (for you). Immediately!

If a bat flies inside a building you’re in, open the doors and windows and turn off the lights. It’ll find its way out. nyti.ms/3C1XqA9

@JustavetFromSDN Oh, and while I'm tweeting, thanks for talking up RABID!

@JustavetFromSDN But this is public health, and denominators matter! The crucial number is 70%, not 50,000, to stop circulation of rabies.

@JustavetFromSDN Thanks for pointing out the article about @MissionRabies to me. I do so love rabies eradication efforts and Krishna nets.
