George Zimmerman Had Accomplices. Too Bad We Can’t Arrest Them Too.

140. I went to the hospital to get a tetanus shot

I was amused when they told me that this was 'only the third oppossum bite this month'.....what the heck?

The doctor told me the likelyhood of of rabies with an oppossum was rare...so I didn't think I would have to do much. I figured, if I start to get symptoms of rabies, I'll go back to the doctor.

But when I told my tale the next day at work, I was informed that rabies was 100% fatal, and by the time you had symptoms, it was too late.

Soooo....I called animal control. They actually have a guy, who is a badge wearing deputy, who scoops up the animal, and takes the head to the local university. A few days later, they call and tell you the results...very efficient.

The animal control deputy also said rabies was rare in oppossums...but very common in the raccoons. I couldn't imagine living 150 years ago, fearful that a raccoon bite would be the end of me. I'd wear gloves and tall boots everywhere I went!
