So, with an IQ pushing the low eighties, I'm a pretty smart guy, you know? And GWN usually doesn't speak of that which he knows not so I'm thinking, can this be true? Do I not know everything?
"While any mammal can get rabies, some animals are less likely to carry it than others:
- Small rodents, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, rats, mice, guinea pigs, gerbils, armadillos, nutria, shrews, prairie dogs, beavers, gophers and hamsters are rarely infected with rabies and are not known to transmit it to humans. However, it's possible for them to get rabies if they are attacked by a rabid animal but not killed.
- Opossums
These marsupials have a lower body temperature than other mammals, which makes it difficult for the rabies virus to survive long enough to cause illness. Opossums are also less likely to carry rabies than other small mammals like raccoons and bats
"..opossums are immune from the venom of all “pit vipers” such as rattlesnakes, copperheads and water moccasins."
"In the US, most human deaths are due to exposure to rabid bats; this is partly because the bite wound is so small (about the size of a hypodermic needle
) that the person may not know they were bitten and, therefore, doesn’t seek medical attention and PEP.""Note that the PEP regime no longer features the much-feared extensive treatment of vaccinations in the stomach, but consists of a dose of human rabies immune globulin (based on weight) and a series of 4 vaccinations (5 vaccinations for immunocompromised individuals) in the deltoid area over a month period."
