If those rats acquire plague bacteria carrying fleas, watch out. Growing up in India, I have seen large rats as well, but their numbers were not large. Cats kept their numbers down. Never heard of plague in India, but I was attacked by the smallpox virus at age 8 and almost did not survive according to my mother. Now still very healthy past 80 with daily exercise in the gym on treadmill and light weight lifting. I rarely see anyone over age 70 in the gym, which is a shame. I am now convinced, daily exercise gives us the best chance to live longer in good health.

Though I am retired I got a part time job 4 days a week where I walk 11 miles each day.
Lost 30 pounds and feel great.

Walking is great especially on Florida beaches.

OTOH
I am over 81 thought JIM was the correct spelling, had an op in 59 and another in 2007 when last physical was done (1st since USN discharge physical (we know what that used to be like), lived through tail end of TB, Polio, sailed for Japan and Far East in middle of Asian Flu World Pandemic (1957), never taken flu shot (maybe in Navy) and don’t intend to take this beerflu shot... have had no ‘real’ official Medical contact other than the two ops (2007 was for cataracts), didn’t go into self quarantine when ‘ordered’ to, don’t mask up (have respiratory problem) spent better part of civilian adulthood smoking & drinking, gave up both in 1990 etc etc etc..
All which proves your method is very sufficient for yourself, mine seems to have worked for me, still ‘work’ on a daily basis etc etc...
Like I say, not belittling your style or anyone elses’ but mine ‘works’ for me...
