I got bit by a dog in BKK years ago. At the time I was living in ANC, and when I went to the doctor to seek treatment it seemed like it took 5 minutes before the state was offering to donate the full rabies regimen. The immune Globulin shot alone was rumored to cost in the neighborhood of $5K.

The take away was two-fold:

1.) The state of Alaska is very aggressive in working to prevent rabies (I guess they thought I'd go bite a moose).

2.) If there is any question to whether you've been exposed, go ahead and get treated. If you wait to show symptoms of rabies - it's too late, you're going to die. I'll never know if I was exposed, but the shots were a good hedge against having my brain explode.

Howdy Kilgore, good to see you out of hibernation.

Lessons learned? The quaint and archaic practice of having the implements close at hand at all times to take the head of any animal you may encounter is still a good idea. This is true in any wilderness, within or outside cities or villages.:D

I like the way you think...


Im still having nightmares about camel spiders... You wake up with those nasty creatures staring you in the face, and you are sure to remember it for a long while...

Yes, everyone should carry a Samurai sword at all times. The world has changed...;)

I was thinking more along the lines of a good 1911 and a fine pocket knife. The world has changed, but not much.

I'm with you, here's mine:

HSLD,

You should know better than to try that with Jungle in the room. He's a walking gun show. :D

I knew I liked that guy for some reason, any all black 1911's?
I still like my p220 over the 1911
Double action for the win!
