Laura, It must have been the moon! I am an animal control officer in the states and there were a lot of attacks this week. I have never been bitten by an animal, but I was attacked on the 29th by a dog. Rabies is always a concern here in Kansas City, though we have very few cases per year. There are however, many types of bacteria in animal saliva that can be equally as evil.

I'm glad you have a doctor you trust. Peace of mind is often a great healer!
