A year can pass from when a person is bitten by a rabid animal or exposed to a bat before rabies develops. Yes this if very true. But usually it shows up within 2 months. I take rabies shots (and have for 16 years) and the 1st time I was bitten by a rabid bat I got lots of info about rabies pretty quickly. Usually you have a month to get the shots and a month to build imunity if not.... you are dead. That is just how it is. I tell the kids ... don't touch bats because rabies is quicker and deadlier than AIDS.

Are you the 'Bat Lady' I saw on the Animal Channel the other night. She (the 'Bat Lady') lived in the Texas hill country and took in sick and injured bats and nursed them back to health.

I take rabies shots I haven't had one in 8 years. Any idea if there is any immunity left in me?
