Ahem! Well, if just having a few rabid bats turn up at times in a county indicates an epidemiology of exposure for Kodo I sure hope that Michigan outlaws french kissing because humans have a much higher chance of exposure, and because it's a strain which has been found in humans (as opposed to in ferrets). Be wary of those Saginaw kisses! They sure pack a punch! Mothers, don't let your children go out with Saginaw dates! "Gee Whillikers, Daddy, do you HAVE to ask all my dates for their rabies shots certificates?!" "Yes, Amy-Lou, it's my bound and boughten duty as your Pop." Okay, okay -- no family talks like that, but it fits the level of knowledge... [Moderator's note: No Sukie, you don't understand. There aren't controlled studies of the bat strain in humans. If he tries to kiss Amy-Lou we'd have to kill him. BIG] [Posted in FML issue 1957]
