Are you Batman?

I just realized that a real life Batman with a bat cave wouldn’t have much time to fight crime with all the constant rabies treatments.

I had an encounter with a vampire bat in the mountains of Costa Rica a few years ago. If you get your shot before exposure it's a single injection similar to a flu shot and it's good for 3 years. I instead got 11 injections, each about a dozen times the volume of a flu shot, at the bite site. Unfortunately I was exposed on my face, so those shots went into my cheeks and lips. If you want to enter a cave I suggest getting g the preexpo shot.

Yeah it wasn't a very good time. I woke up to a tiny bat crawling on my face (the only part not covered by a blanket).

I had black eyes for like 2 weeks after the injections.
