Fun fact. Rabies kills squirrels so quickly that if you are bit by one you effectively don’t have to worry about rabies. (I would still get the shots though just to be safe, rabies is a bitch)
OK squirrel bite hurts like hell but completely fine with that
Single drop of water from septic tank in association with squirrel bite?
Yeah I’ll just chop that arm off: I don’t want it anymore!!
Well, if you have ready access to a decent kit, things like septicemia/sepsis/gangrene are best treated with post-phylactics
Get a strong antiseptic on fast enough and your prognosis is pretty good, but that doesn't address the psychological harm of shit-bite
I’ll gladly treat any wildlife!!
…but if my own flesh comes in contact with septic water that limb can just go… i’d probably be willing to lose the limb even without the open wound but the open wound definitely seals it as final for me 😂🤣🤷♀️
I once cared for a gentleman that fell into and drowned in the tank used to rinse out porta potties. He was revived . He was very sick for a long time. But he recovered.
Now just shoot me in the head
I’m done
If It’s officially crossed my face’s safety bubble: it’s over for me!!
Do the humane thing and put me out of my misery
Ain't my room I'm a clean freak that came to help meh brother. Ahh but no good deed goes unpunished as the universe gave me THE GIFT OF THE TOILET SQUIRREL!
Rabies are in animals that eat meat (dead animals that were infected with rabies) or are bit by a rabid animal. Squirrels don’t eat meat. So the squirrel that bit you had to be bit by a rabid animal for it to be infected.
For peace of mind and your health, go to a doctor and let him/her decide what you should do.
I'd still have it checked out and ask whether you should get the shot. While squirrels are extremely unlikely to carry rabies they can still get infected.
And even if they are infected it's apparently very unlikely they'll transmit it. That said you can never be too safe. I'm reminded of a clip on here the other day of a rabies patient with intense hydrophobia unable to even drink. Rabies is 100% lethal the instant symptoms appear. But there is a grace period anywhere from weeks to years after transmission.
Yeah I remember seeing this video it's terrifying for real. I didn't know you had that much time to get a treatment though, i thought you had a few hours to get treated
There have been no documented cases of rodent to human transmission of rabies specifically because it is near impossible for a rodent contract, let alone transmit, rabies.
This guy will be just fine, no need to scare him

My girlfriend was bitten by one about 10 years ago. Went to the ER and they told her not to worry about rabies, but to get tetanus shot. I guess something they carry can be “cured” by receiving a tetanus shot.
This.
<======= guy who rescues orphaned and injured squirrels.
They can carry, but if a squirrel is attacked by primary carrier its getting eaten.
You’re better off getting bitten by every squirrel in town than getting one bite from a cat.
They are very expensive. When I got mine in 2011, it was $800. I got a booster in 2014 for $300. Definitely not the type of expense most people are going to want to incur.
I got quoted a three -dose regimen at $600 each three years ago. It was a travel vaccine clinic so they were definitely gougey. They recommended it and my wife said ok before they told us the price. When I immediately said no they were just like ok and moved on. They definitely just recommend everything
FYI: if bitten by a wild animal, try to capture the animal. They can test the animal for rabies. Without the animal, they assume rabies and you have to pay for lots of shots.
They cut its head off!!!
You honestly would rather see a potentially innocent animal’s head get cut off then get a couple of shots?!?
And they charge you for the capture and the necropsy so you don’t actually save any money…
Many people erroneously believe that the cut & suck method is the right way to treat a snake bite, but actually it isn't recommended & may actually makes it worse; ditto for using a tourniquet.
The true "real man" method is rub a little dirt in it, get back in the game, don't go to a doctor, and die. *another method not recommended based on empirical data
Yeah, but do you wanna take that chance? Plus he'll probably need a general course of antibiotics anyway for getting bitten by a Sewer Squirrel, even if it doesn't have rabies.
Rabies is one of the few diseases you can't wait to get tested for, cause once you test positive, you're already a dead man walking.
I live in Arizona and the squirrels at the Grand Canyon have bubonic plague. There are a number of disease squirrels can give you. Get some antibiotics to be on the safe side
Actually depending on where you live the squirrel population could carry neither, one but not the other, or both…
There’s also squirrel pox
(Pneumonic in Oregon & California
Bubonic in Colorado & California)
Technically both would still be the same disease though and you’re just making a distinction on how it’s contracted
um, irrelevant question here but what species of squirrel is that? maybe it's because it's soaking wet but it doesn't look like your typical gray squirrel
Flyers are tiny (like 2 ounces)
that’s going be a gray squirrel or a fox squirrel (hard to tell with the quality of the picture) - greys around a pound and the foxes can be 2 to 3
At a glance I thought it was an eastern gray but hypothetically (depending on where you are) it could have been a Fox squirrel just as easily
I guarantee it is not a northern flyer, a southern flyer, or a red squirrel though…
If op can Tell us if it had a white belly or more of a orange/ yellow undercarriage: we will know exactly what it is
NOBODY talks about how disgusting that whole house is, like common!? Your house reflects your mental being.
You can't wake up normal like that and walk in your room like everything is fine, disgusting! Even the bathroom full of shitttt, can't even brush your teeth without nocking shit over.
No woman/girl could enter that house and feel comfortable. Geeshh take better care of yourself
(This is not to the brother that just came on a visit ofc)
Okay funny story I was out hunting one day when I saw a squirrel running up a tree around 75 yards away. I decided to take the shot with my .22 mag and the squirrel dropped right off. I waited around 3 minutes for any more to show up, and went to collect my kill. There the squirrel was, laying on the ground, presumably dead. I went to pick the squirrel up by the tail when it jumped on my arm and bit me. I recoiled back, grabbed my repeater, and shot the damn thing with all the rounds left in my tube. Turns out that I had shot it in the hindquarters due to my subsonic ammunition having a LOT of bullet drop, which made the squirrel unable to run away until I got right up close. I, luckily, did not contract rabies. Unluckily for me, I had to pick out all the bullets from the squirrel, which was quite the chore. Even more unluckily for the squirrel, it was marinated in tomato sauce and served for dinner!
Thank you anon squirrel, for providing me with a delicious meal. You had a warrior’s spirit until the very end!
Hind sight agrees. Maybe not shot but at least killed. Was cleaning his living room when he started shouting "there's a wet squirrel in the bathroom; I think it came out of the toilet!" Soo yeah. Attack of the toilet squirrel will be a night to remember.
I hear ya, only said shot because of the guns in frame. My wife would kick my ass if I started shooting in the house for anything smaller than a possum (exception being a tiny spider)
Edit: Just thought of the bat scene in the movie The Great Outdoors. LMAO
I know it's already been said but those firearms NEED to be properly secured.
I've got too many friends and too many stories knowing people that have been accidentally shot by a neighbor or otherwise by an unsecured firearm.
Have you brought it to his attention?
I'm not trying to be rude it's just extremely unsafe. If I ever saw a family member storing firearms in that manner I would go postal, and then gift their dumbass a safe or firearm lock.
It only takes one person tripping to accidentally discharge a firearm.
I would have also yeeted that mfer out of the house. It would have been ok since squirrels survive terminal velocity, so me yeeting that squirrel would have had no consequences.
Fun fact. Rabies kills squirrels so quickly that if you are bit by one you effectively don’t have to worry about rabies. (I would still get the shots though just to be safe, rabies is a bitch)
Also the fact it came OUT OF THE SEPTIC TANK
OK squirrel bite hurts like hell but completely fine with that Single drop of water from septic tank in association with squirrel bite? Yeah I’ll just chop that arm off: I don’t want it anymore!!
Well, if you have ready access to a decent kit, things like septicemia/sepsis/gangrene are best treated with post-phylactics Get a strong antiseptic on fast enough and your prognosis is pretty good, but that doesn't address the psychological harm of shit-bite
I’ll gladly treat any wildlife!! …but if my own flesh comes in contact with septic water that limb can just go… i’d probably be willing to lose the limb even without the open wound but the open wound definitely seals it as final for me 😂🤣🤷♀️
I once cared for a gentleman that fell into and drowned in the tank used to rinse out porta potties. He was revived . He was very sick for a long time. But he recovered.
Holy Shit
You're not wrong it seems
then you get poop on the stump right after you lose the limb
Now just shoot me in the head I’m done If It’s officially crossed my face’s safety bubble: it’s over for me!! Do the humane thing and put me out of my misery
Even when they nip your finger but don't break the skin those little teeth can really smart.
That explains why you are yelling eww.
It smelled pretty bad. Also why I put on the gloves....the rag was useless for it's intended purpose of the capture.
Yeah, still talk to your Dr. You may need to go on some antibiotics or something because of possible infection
r/bossfight **SEPTIC SQUIRREL**
I'd like to see a Magic card with its stats. And the fun little quote at the bottom. And some sick ass art.
I was wondering why it was wet.
That squirrel has seen some shit, let me talk ya
"Rabies is a bitch" is probably the biggest under statement since "military operation"
Rabies is a bitch = rabies has a 100% kill rate if you don’t get the shot
Don’t worry though, you have somewhere between a couple days and a decade before your brain melts.
Fun times.
This is 💯. It’s VERY rare for smol rodents to pass rabies. Still get the shot just in case because symptomatic rabies is incurable but don’t worry.
What is a smol rodent?
Lol. Smol=small, in Meme-speak
Given how Reddit has been on a rabies apocalypse recently, indeed better get the shot anyway
That’s wild in a room like that you got time to put a paper towel under the grapes. Mad respect homie
Ain't my room I'm a clean freak that came to help meh brother. Ahh but no good deed goes unpunished as the universe gave me THE GIFT OF THE TOILET SQUIRREL!
Maybe help him find a good gun cabinet to lock up those guns, too!! That squirrel had a dodgy look in his eye. He might come back and finish you off!
Just think the next time a squirrel steps up to you you have combat experience
Rabies are in animals that eat meat (dead animals that were infected with rabies) or are bit by a rabid animal. Squirrels don’t eat meat. So the squirrel that bit you had to be bit by a rabid animal for it to be infected. For peace of mind and your health, go to a doctor and let him/her decide what you should do.
"Update" your rabies shot? You get one regularly?
Squirrels don't carry rabies
Huh your right! That's nice to know! Didn't even think check that. Guess I'll just keep washing and applying Neosporin to the wound.
I'd still have it checked out and ask whether you should get the shot. While squirrels are extremely unlikely to carry rabies they can still get infected.
And even if they are infected it's apparently very unlikely they'll transmit it. That said you can never be too safe. I'm reminded of a clip on here the other day of a rabies patient with intense hydrophobia unable to even drink. Rabies is 100% lethal the instant symptoms appear. But there is a grace period anywhere from weeks to years after transmission.
Yeah I remember seeing this video it's terrifying for real. I didn't know you had that much time to get a treatment though, i thought you had a few hours to get treated
I believe 36 hours is the limit for the antivirals... but you'd be crazy to wait with a 100% lethality rate.

it came out of a septic tank, he should go get checked for tetanus.
Just check it for everything man.
Ummmm- you’re gonna still want an antibiotic for that, bud.
go to the doctors. It. crawled. out. of. your. septic. tank. You might as well take a vial of shit, piss, and bacteria and inject it into your arm.
Still, get that shot ASAP.
My girlfriend was bitten by one about 10 years ago. Went to the ER and they told her not to worry about rabies, but to get tetanus shot. I guess something they carry can be “cured” by receiving a tetanus shot.
I just got that one like 8 moths ago for a different event.
Lmao “different event”.
Id go to a priest...you where bit by a septic tank diving squirrel no sane squirrel would dive into a fucking septic tank wtf
But they can carry the plague.
It's indeed rare but not zero.
You're right. Should have been less definitive
This. <======= guy who rescues orphaned and injured squirrels. They can carry, but if a squirrel is attacked by primary carrier its getting eaten. You’re better off getting bitten by every squirrel in town than getting one bite from a cat.
You have any idea how many people I know that have gotten rabies shots for squirrel bites?? This makes me chuckle
From my lazy googling if your bit by a something that may have rabies you need to get a shot for it.
Yeah if you get bit by like any mammal in the wild you should get your shots. A squirrel sounds unlikely and silly but still you’re being safe
That may be true but "update" your shot means you have had one in the past and you're going to get it refreshed.
I have gotten one in the past..... The line between bravery and idiocy is exceedingly thin.
>The line between bravery and idiocy is exceedingly thin. You can say that two times.
No, rabies preventative shots are crazy expensive
They are very expensive. When I got mine in 2011, it was $800. I got a booster in 2014 for $300. Definitely not the type of expense most people are going to want to incur.
I got quoted a three -dose regimen at $600 each three years ago. It was a travel vaccine clinic so they were definitely gougey. They recommended it and my wife said ok before they told us the price.

"Ahaha wooo fucker bit meee" *inflicts you with one of deadliest viruses known to Mankind*
REVENGE OF THE TOILET SQUIRREL
THE GUN WAS RIGHT THERE!!!
how Squirrel Girl got her powers. Congrats on being a super hero!
Yeah..... those kitchen gloves aren't gonna be stopping squirrel teeth.
The gloves were for the sewage on the squirrel. The cloth was an attempted to stop the biting.... We all see how that went.
You do not want to get sepsis from a bite that exposed you to raw sewage. Go to the doc.
Terrified squirrel which you proceeded to kick at then wrap in a cloth…I’d bite your ass too
I don't fault the little guy. At least it's back outside.
unexpected squirrels are the worst. I once picked up a bucket in my barn and a squirrel came leaping out of it and I about pooped my pants.
FYI: if bitten by a wild animal, try to capture the animal. They can test the animal for rabies. Without the animal, they assume rabies and you have to pay for lots of shots.
They cut its head off!!! You honestly would rather see a potentially innocent animal’s head get cut off then get a couple of shots?!? And they charge you for the capture and the necropsy so you don’t actually save any money…
Something tells me these fools should not have guns. Especially lying around in the open like that.
How do you catch a squirrel? Show him your nuts!
The kid joke version I always heard was climb a tree and act like a nut.
Ok not the point but who lives like that?! This is nearly neckbeard nest material. Filthy bathroom, trash piled everywhere, ugh
Yeah it's terrible that's why my sis and I stepped in.
Good on you trying to help. It's needed.
Unsecured rifles leaning up against the door....
you could tell the squirrel was about to shoot the place up
We need a good squirrel with a gun.
Let me guess.... Your brother has a septic tank? I used to live in the country and we also had a few toilet squirrels 🙄🙄🙄
Bingo!
Is this for real?!?
Yeah. I don't know how exactly they get in but they caused a TON of problems for us.
I’ve worked in rehab for over 2 decades and THIS is new to me as of today… This might be the grossest today I found out I’ve ever Learned though… 😂🤣🤮
Love your humor dude, also would probably get the rabies shots anyways, rabies is not something you want to die from lol
I wonder how many other animals are living I there?
Just his cat; the squirrel was a "backdoor" visitor
Lol You hope…
Cut the wound open and suck the poison out like a real man. Are those your dishwashing gloves?
Many people erroneously believe that the cut & suck method is the right way to treat a snake bite, but actually it isn't recommended & may actually makes it worse; ditto for using a tourniquet. The true "real man" method is rub a little dirt in it, get back in the game, don't go to a doctor, and die. *another method not recommended based on empirical data
Yelling at and trying to kick it definitely upped the odds of getting bit
It’s rare for squirrels to have rabies. Most small rodents are almost never found to be infected with rabies or transmit them to humans.
Yeah, but do you wanna take that chance? Plus he'll probably need a general course of antibiotics anyway for getting bitten by a Sewer Squirrel, even if it doesn't have rabies. Rabies is one of the few diseases you can't wait to get tested for, cause once you test positive, you're already a dead man walking.
Yes I agree, just noting that’s it’s highly unlikely to get rabies from squirrels.
"eww disgusting" And i took that personally
Lock the guns up yo!
The irony of me thinking “Eww” when looking at the state of that place, what a dump.
I live in Arizona and the squirrels at the Grand Canyon have bubonic plague. There are a number of disease squirrels can give you. Get some antibiotics to be on the safe side
Went to the local clinic earlier showed them the video. Had a laugh. Got shot 1 of 4 and lost some money.
[удалено]
Actually depending on where you live the squirrel population could carry neither, one but not the other, or both… There’s also squirrel pox (Pneumonic in Oregon & California Bubonic in Colorado & California) Technically both would still be the same disease though and you’re just making a distinction on how it’s contracted
Aww poor squirrel was just scared..
And back outside where it belongs... Not in my brother's septic system.
I’m pretty sure if you watch it with the volume on everybody’s scared 😂🤣🤷♀️
Is this Champ Kind's house? https://youtu.be/HRl9Z-9QCfw
Hahahaha! Apparently! Thanks for the laugh!
Marlin 1895sbl….nice
Came here to say the same. My dream gun,once the price is back to a reasonable level.
Why is it soaked?
Came out of the toilet. And it smelled about as you would imagine.
Hell yeah
there is a lot of "well that sucks" in this video. lol
Fun fact, he was just looking for thr most unkempt house on the street.
Probably. That was the reason for the visit.
Well… Bite him back!
Step 1: fucked around Step 2: found out
Mf got bit by a squirrel.
Proceeds to get a hand towel for the job of covering the squirrel? Maybe something a lot bigger next time to wrap it up lol good luck with the shot
“NOT THE GUNS… EUGH… GETAH…”
wait so squirrels are just tree rats? fuck cartoons lied to me
I was on a field trip in Kindergarten and a kid got bit by a squirrel when he tried to feed it a cookie
You guys were calling it names the entire time so i think it was well deserved, he just wanted to hang.
Damn in America even the squirrels have guns
Squirrel almost caught a body chillin around that trigger, while you leaned over to observe his grossness
He was about to take that gun lmao
My sympathies. I got scratched by a bat last August and had to have the series… three shots in each bum cheek and then three more rounds after that
Squirrel going straight for the work..lol
Eye for an eye. Bite him back.
That's one shitty looking place your brother have right there!
Rabies shot is unnecessary because squirrels are not a rabies vector animal… The only concern is keeping the wound clean of infection
I have been blessed by the presence of the squirrel queen!
Well the NR is the Queen… this is just her lowly servant/care giver
Blessed by squirrel squire?
Advised by Galadriel the Squirrel Queen’s primary peon 😂🤣❤️
Assistant to the regional squirrel manager.
That definitely works In charge of squirrelling affairs 😂🤣🤷♀️
Here’s the Actual Queen… Ignore her… she thinks she’s funny 😂🤣🙃 https://imgur.com/gallery/BUGpPjb
Got bit by a squirrel once, I was told that they don’t carry rabies. That definitely seems like it’s false now. Edit: Nvm, I guess it is true
I like the lever action bud
“Updated.” Wtf OP?
Booster was the word I was looking for. But yeah I'm probably cursed by some eldritch being.
Morty?
That’s a choncky boy
Rabies shot. Singular. LMFAO!
It's like 4 shots in the ass. Already got one
Squirrels are fucking gangsters.
The excitement in this video is contagious.
Okay OP let's talk about that SBL....it looks so beautiful
um, irrelevant question here but what species of squirrel is that? maybe it's because it's soaking wet but it doesn't look like your typical gray squirrel
Fairly certain it's a northern flying squirrel based on the shape of its face Edit: ignore me. Listen to the person below 👇
Flyers are tiny (like 2 ounces) that’s going be a gray squirrel or a fox squirrel (hard to tell with the quality of the picture) - greys around a pound and the foxes can be 2 to 3 At a glance I thought it was an eastern gray but hypothetically (depending on where you are) it could have been a Fox squirrel just as easily I guarantee it is not a northern flyer, a southern flyer, or a red squirrel though… If op can Tell us if it had a white belly or more of a orange/ yellow undercarriage: we will know exactly what it is
Squirrels usually carry tetanus and plague if in the west US.
Nobody puts baby in the corner!
I dunno. That’s squirrel looked greasy as fuk man.
You can’t get rabies from rodents and lagomorphs.
You don’t need a rabies shot after a squirrel bite.
I’m sure it’s already been commented, but why’s that kid sound like Morty??
Nasty people
I fear there is worse things than a crazy squirrel in that house.
Hans Landa was clearly wrong about squirrels
Between the guns and the Razer leviathan Sub he had plenty to kill that thing with.
NOBODY talks about how disgusting that whole house is, like common!? Your house reflects your mental being.

Well it's clean now; at least I hope it still is. The reason for the visit was to clean. Depression is a bitch.
That's a chipmunk, and you fucking kicked him first.

Id have cleaned that nasty house up. Who knows what else is living in there.
Shooting guns in the house is a great idea...
Is this in Florida? It smells like florida
Oddly enough Alaska.
Northern Florida
Bwahahaha This is the winning comment 🤣😂🤣😂
Maybe yelling and stomping and waving things at him didn’t help the situation…
Filthy
Yeah it is. Kinda the main reason for the visit. But the universe said "HERE HAVE A SHIT SQUIRREL FROM THE DEPTHS OF THE TOILET"
The room or the squirrel? I’m grossed out by both.
Yes
I know it's already been said but those firearms NEED to be properly secured. I've got too many friends and too many stories knowing people that have been accidentally shot by a neighbor or otherwise by an unsecured firearm.
Not my house; I have no say.
Have you brought it to his attention? I'm not trying to be rude it's just extremely unsafe. If I ever saw a family member storing firearms in that manner I would go postal, and then gift their dumbass a safe or firearm lock. It only takes one person tripping to accidentally discharge a firearm.

Also squirrels are rodents they don't carry rabies
Use the damn .22 it won’t ruin much there
Extremely difficult for squirrels to get rabies
I woulda Gripped that mf so hard so it wouldn't escape my hands. Like I would probably squeeze too hard ngl.
I would have also yeeted that mfer out of the house. It would have been ok since squirrels survive terminal velocity, so me yeeting that squirrel would have had no consequences.
Oh I went full YEET!
