    Rabies is not something you want to FAFO with. You don’t just feel bad for awhile. You die a horrific death, game over, you lose, etc.

    And if you potentially do get bit, the human rabies vaccine isn’t a regular shot. It’s lots of shots over a period of time.

    TLDR get your pets fucking vaccinated.
