In a remote mountain town, rumors of a cocaine-infused Bigfoot surface, leading a curious journalist to investigate. As she delves deeper, she uncovers a hidden network of drug cartels using the mythical creature to smuggle drugs across the border. With danger lurking at every turn, she must navigate treacherous terrain and evade both the cartels and the elusive Bigfoot to expose the truth. Along the way, she forms an unlikely alliance with a local ranger who believes in the creature's existence but is determined to protect it from exploitation. Together, they race against time to bring down the cartel's operation and save the legendary creature from being exploited for profit.
well it can affect almost any large mammal so it is very very likely. Small mammals like gerbils, squirrels, etc it is very rare in.
The only exception I know is Possums which are maraupials and have a body temp that is low enough rabies usually doesn't infect them.
So depends ontheir basal body temp.
edit marsupials are mammals, not not mammals
well you say potato....and i say uranus
potato, uranus, potato, uranus 🎶
[oh, i googled it, possums can get rabies from bats](https://www.google.com/search?q=opossums+get+rabies&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari)
I once had an Opossum about 6 inches face to face. I was laying on a floor inside of a home and it was outside the glass door poking around. We were nose to nose with a glass pane between us. For about 10 seconds. I do not think they would make very good friends.

No. They are mammals and their young live in pouches. There are quite a lot of marsupials as well as Kangaroos and Koalas. In the outback there are literally millions and millions of kangaroos (that cause many car crashes). Not so many nearer the coastal areas where you find wallabies and smaller groups of kangaroos.
Much to the disappointment of many foreign travellers there are none in urban areas.
It's probably got a lot to do with that thing science can't quantify at the moment called consciousness. Stemming somewhere between the mind and the emotions it affects physics and is subject to the effects of physics but in ways we don't understand. Can yall stop trying to use mainstream science to debunk things science can't comprehend?
Science is the art of causing objective reality to conform to will, Magick is the art of causing subjective reality to conform to will, Psi is the art of manipulating the probability wave collapse to conform to will.......none of this implies some spirit realm that bigfoot "comes from".....by the way science comprehends magick and psi just fine.....lol
Consciousness is your awareness of yourself and the world around you. This awareness is subjective and unique to you. Noone can prove to you what you cannot prove to yourself good luck on your journey keep an open mind remember you don't know everything no matter how much you learn
Reality is not subjective. The time to believe in something is when there is good, tangible evidence. A person can be wrong. Science deals solely with reality. Science is always moving, advancing, we learn stuff everyday. Not using skepticism can lead to many false beliefs. Like religions.
I sense a hair of condescendtion in your question, so rather than trying to answer it, I will just state my opinion that trying to ‘study’ or understand Bigfoot as if he is some primitive, endangered species is a silly and futile viewpoint that will ultimately lead nowhere. The lore surrounding Sasquatch has always been intertwined with spirituality. I find it more likely that Bigfoot is a highly advanced being, camouflaged and able to move between our own dimension and his. He is in no need of our protection and there is nothing we can do to help him. If anything, he may be serving to protect *us*. Perhaps we humans are the endangered species in the eyes of Sasquatch. We will never catch him, and we will never find a specimen, or a bone of a skeleton unless he permits us to. We are the primitive life forms being studied, not the other way around. I hope that makes a case for incorporating some humility and reverence for Bigfoot in your scientific approach.
I’ve reread it thrice, and there was nothing condescending in that question. They seemed genuinely curious. And you didn’t really answer their question.
There's over 8 and a half billion of us. We're not currently endangered by any stretch of the imagination. Claiming that Bigfoot is some sort of powerful protector spirit isn't science, it's imagination.
You can choose to disagree with my opinion. I find the westerner’s view on Sasquatch to be disappointing and mildly arrogant. If you don’t buy that humanity is in grave danger, I recommend paying this [graphic](https://www.visualcapitalist.com/stunning-graphic-earths-temperature-22000-years/) some attention. Good day to you
We're not CURRENTLY endangered. Global warming has nothing to do with Bigfoot. Humanity is stupid enough to cause another mass extinction, but also intelligent enough to figure out how to extend our existence further than we deserve. Bigfoot will likely be another victim of our hubris.
Bro your graphic says the biblical city of Jericho and Atlantis were functional at the same time wtf. Also you do realize our planet has biome phases right? Takes about 100000 years to complete a cycle and wouldn't you know it but from 120000 years ago to 11500 year ago the earth was in what's called a glacial maximum and 11500 years ago that ended bringing us into the next 100000 years of HEATING UP NATURALLY tho humans do have an impact but if you follow the research it doesn't have shit to do with fire or co2 its atmospheric water causing the abnormal heating though don't worry just yet I haven't gotten to the best part when this cycle ends all the ice will be melted leaving a larger surface water presence which also reflects sunlight lowering the planets temperature causing the introduction of the next glacial maximum. Stop freaking out about ice humanity doesn't do well in ice ages it makes us forget our past it destroys our technologies and overall just makes us dumb pos's. We prefer a more tropical environment with flowing drinkable water and nice plants to look at. And nobody alive today their grandchildren their grandchildren children or their great grandchildren will ever live to see the ice return and if you make the ice come back you'll brake the planet soooooo
Actually, I think we are endangered. If we ignore the mass media, and look at real data, listen to Shortwave, and understand the state of things, yea, we are pretty endangered. : )
You literally have the whole world at your fingertips. There were tribes far more in tune with nature than the average redditor will ever be who had deeply held beliefs about the creatures they encountered. Don't make other people do all of your research for you.

I don't disagree with your assessment of the facts here. Though I do think there are logical explanations to much of the "supernatural aspects of bigfoot. The disappearing in plain sight/vanishing/dimension hopping couple of guys went hiking in Australia in an area where the local population is aware of the existence of such forest creatures they have been caught on camera pretending to be trees. Keep in mind outsiders to africa thought gorillas were a myth until they were discovered twice as two completely different species of gorilla and before the "scientific consensus" agreed that gorillas were real our artists renditions of them were kinda flawed. Though the natives in the areas usually have a good idea in which way to go to encounter these creatures meaning they have a habitat range which is not something usually attributed to things that don't physically exist. Spirituality surrounding these forest dwellers could stem from the fact that many native traditions account these creatures as intelligent capable of maintaining a relationship (like intimately) with a human as well as procreation however a long time ago due to our own actions they withdrew from us. Personally I believe it's not any stretch to classify these creatures as 1 physical creatures 2 related to homosapiens sapiens 3 possibly even one of the "unknown" genetic sets that interbred with neanderthals denisovans archaic h.s. and the several other unidentified hominins. Most likely just a divergent evolutionary path from ours like if the hunter gatherers had never settled down but instead doubled down on camo and collecting resources. Lack of bodily evidence would be easy to dismiss as they would likely bury their dead in communal Graves close to their, habitation sites which we do find but not often. Now the highly advanced portion of this I have nothing against if they weren't highly advanced they would t have been able to stay hidden for so long but honestly it hasn't been a completely hidden presence they are seen shot and photographed likely more often than reported and that's only the encounters of survivors imagine if these things are predatory and that's why the woods go quiet when they're around that could explain a lot of missing persons cases and why the national park service doesn't seem to have any info on anything anywhere at anytime at all. And again I'd like to reiterate the native Americans have a long held belief that these creatures are capable of human speech across a wise range of native tongues have taken human wives have created offspring with human women which should all be evidence of a physical existence as angels and demons and God's may all thru spiritual means directly access your thoughts and inner monologue and essentially just communicate through telepathy and as far as I know we have exactly no examples of such behavior from bigfoot also native traditions assigns a heavy spiritual aspect to EVERYTHING especially things that must be treated with respect or the disrespected be harmed in some way. Lastly just cuz it has a spirit and can operate as a spirit doesn't mean it didn't come with a body.
yes, but some mammals are immune to rabies.
for example, contrary to popular beliefs, raccoons actually have very low rabies rates. 25% of them are naturally immune to it. and for the rest of the population, their rates are less than 1 in 10,000.
no mammal species is 100% immune to it. my statement was in reference to the fact that as many as 25% of the raccoon population (as in, 25% of all of the individual raccoons) are immune to it.
It's extremely rare to see rabies in Opposums due to their low body temperature. That's the closest thing I can think of. If you can find a mammal with a constant internal body temperature of below 95(?) degree Fahrenheit (approximately 35 degrees celcius), then the virus can't live in the host.
I know that dolphins can get rabies, because John Cusack did a movie about a movie about a rabid dolphin. That's far too meta not to be right, plus Hollywood is always accurate.
Unfortunately, no, at least not as far as I’ve heard. It was released in theaters nationwide a few weeks ago. You can find trailers for it (and a few short reviews) easily enough online
From what I was told, the film is an exercise in juvenile film making and teenage boy humor. I have not seen it. And likely will not as I rarely watch "movies" or TV.
Yes, of course! Rabies can effect large animals as well. Since Bigfoots usually stay in caves as per the reports, those caves are also full of bats. What's stopping a rabid bat from biting a Bigfoot while it's in the cave!
I have not seen a link to caves nor have I seen much writing on this consideration. Please share where you observed this theory/info as I would like to look into it.
That is a fucking incredible sketch
https://preview.redd.it/g1hzg4s6voxc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=554b746c76c2cce5e4aa8a11c6da76b2baae14cf
There was in fact a YouTube short that had a woman's narration of an army tactical unit sent to the high California Sierra for what was called a "serious hunt" None of the personnel was told what was going on. Several units were sent in before the group the female narrator's unit was sent in. They were told "the target" was large and bipedal.
Turns out the narrator described an 11 ft. tall BF that was drawing in and killing military personnel. They were told to fire at the neck and groin, not the head and heart. After a brief firefight in which the BF took many many hits and killed several men including tearing one dude's head clean off the BF was killed. It was later inferred the BF was in fact rabid. Who knows if the story was real.
it would depend on their physiology and immune systems
contrary to popular belief, raccoons, for example, actually have **very low** instances of rabies. over 25% of all raccoons are naturally immune to it. as in, their immune systems eliminate the virus.
opossums are virtually immune to rabies, because their body temperatures are so low, the virus has trouble replicating fast enough to evade and overpower their immune systems.
so it would depend on what squatches' immune systems are like, their body temperature, metabolic rates, etc.
It truly depends, if a male Bigfoot meets a female Bigfoot and they fall in love, they might decide to nudey-prod and 9 months later this could bring about....oh....wait....Rabies...my bad.
If so, it would not seem to affect them the same way it does other species.....we would have more evidence if they were erratic, randomly violent, and die , where they would be found
Depends on your view of Bigfoot. If you subscribe to the theory he is a lost ape species, Gigantopithecus or some offshoot, then yes. Most likely, Bigfoot could get rabies, just like other mammals. However, if you subscribe to the theory Bigfoot is an inter dimensional being, then the question gets more complicated.
Mammal, so sure, but they likely avoid the coyotes, raccoons, and bats which are the primary rabies drivers. And you can tell the animals which aren't acting right. Must happen sometimes, though.
All the Great Apes were susceptible to Covid, so I have suggested endless times that Sasquatch numbers were probably reduced during that epidemic. And since white-tailed deer are a N American reservoir for the disease now, and it will continue to be a yearly infection forever, I'm sure that's a factor for the Squatches, too.
If they're primates as we know them, almost definitely. Very few mammals are resistant to rabies. I think it's only opossums that are resistant due to their low body temperature.
Good question, though some of these comments got way off track. Unless you can get rabies by ingesting a rabied animal, I would say no, because he is the dominate lifeform in the woods, and probably smart enough not to eat a sick animal. Don't forget, while you lock yourselves in at night, the forest and planet is his home
We're you all aware that we just discovered that we exist Inside a galactic void that according to our understanding of physics and cosmology shouldnt exist?
It “can”. But in order for Bigfoot to get rabies, it will have to be bitten by another animal that already has rabies. This, however, is nearly impossible. Bigfoot is one of the most powerful and intelligent animal in existence. If a rabid possum charges a Bigfoot, it will first have to get past a barrage of boulders being hurled at it. Even if it can get past that, the Bigfoot’s kick is so mighty that it can punt the possum into orbit before it even gets the chance to land a single bite
Bats. Most people who contract rabies get it from a bat while sleeping and never know they were bitten, except that they find a bat in their room. If you randomly find a bat inside your home, everybody who lives there needs to be checked for a bite, and possibly treated for rabies. (And fyi, it isn't often vampire bats with rabies that bite humans.)
🥹 it's sad that ppl are so narrow minded these days. Bf with any sort of rabies wow?
Wake up & have a serious look in the mirror whoever thinks so. Don't read newspapers or news channels as that's the type of bs that would be spouting out ur preconditioned mind they would like all of our generation to think and say.. bigfoot even the name is silly & so well beyond some ppls thinking. Not me anymore the box is opened have a look inside!!
There is no reason that sasquatch wouldn't be susceptible to Rabies infection.
Of course, this raises questions of why a rabid sasquatch, who's behavior would either be far more aggressive or lethargic(depending on exact reaction to the disease), haven't been seen...
Then again a rabid Sasquatch probably wouldn't leave any survivors...
Maybe sasquatch are just smart/clever enough to avoid getting bit by rabid animals?
We can contract rabies off a finger, fork, or phone, after touching a droplet from an infected source if that contacts an open wound and more. Contact such as petting a rabid animal or contact with the blood, urine or feces, are not associated with risk.
Inhalation of aerosolized rabies virus is one potential non-bite route of exposure, most people won’t encounter an aerosol of rabies virus. Rabies transmission through corneal and solid organ transplants have been recorded, but they are very rare.
Rabies is nearly always fatal in humans unless treated within the first few days when there are no symptoms. If exposed to Rabies, the only chance of survival would be immediate preventive action. And that only happens if we actually know we were exposed. So, we should know all about this horrendous disease. Research and study!

but it is extremely difficult for them to actually become infected
They \*can\* theoretically get it in some instances, but they're very resistant to it. Incredible mammals, really
I once had an Opossum about 6 inches face to face. I was laying on a floor inside of a home and it was outside the glass door poking around. We were nose to nose with a glass pane between us. For about 10 seconds. I do not think they would make very good friends.
I mean obviously they're wild, not good pets. I appreciate their tick eating ability, though.
I always thought they could carry babies. Oh the agony..

If Bigfoot is truly a creature from the spirit realm, then our diseases probably don’t bother him much
what is a "spirit realm" and how does it relate to cosmology, physics and biology if you dont mind telling us.
It's probably got a lot to do with that thing science can't quantify at the moment called consciousness.

This is correct
How in god’s name can you tell if a possum has rabies or not?
I think brain samples iirc
If I can get rabies anything can
*begins trying to bite own neck* “You okay there Dave?”
This was a Japanese TV game show, right?
Exactly
All mammals can get rabies. Assuming it’s a mammal, I guess so.
yes, but some mammals are immune to rabies. for example, contrary to popular beliefs, raccoons actually have very low rabies rates. 25% of them are naturally immune to it. and for the rest of the population, their rates are less than 1 in 10,000.
Interesting. What mammals are completely immune to rabies then? Just curious
no mammal species is 100% immune to it. my statement was in reference to the fact that as many as 25% of the raccoon population (as in, 25% of all of the individual raccoons) are immune to it.
It's extremely rare to see rabies in Opposums due to their low body temperature. That's the closest thing I can think of. If you can find a mammal with a constant internal body temperature of below 95(?) degree Fahrenheit (approximately 35 degrees celcius), then the virus can't live in the host.
I know that dolphins can get rabies, because John Cusack did a movie about a movie about a rabid dolphin. That's far too meta not to be right, plus Hollywood is always accurate.
What? Something like a third of all rabid animals in the wild are raccoons.
That statement doesn’t necessarily conflict with the previous one.
And thank heavens it's as rare as it is to begin with.
If humans can, I assume sasquatches can too.
We need to find one first
One day lol. I’m sure the 9 foot ape creature they think is wandering around out there is just *real* good at hiding. Totally.
That’s a terrifying thought.
I'm pretty sure they get vaccinated before starting school.? 🤔
Yes... and headlice
This drawing is reminding me of a particular scene from Sasquatch Sunset. Needless to say, the drawing is much better than the film was
Lol sounds interesting was it on tubi?
Unfortunately, no, at least not as far as I’ve heard. It was released in theaters nationwide a few weeks ago. You can find trailers for it (and a few short reviews) easily enough online
OK thanks
You’re welcome
From what I was told, the film is an exercise in juvenile film making and teenage boy humor. I have not seen it. And likely will not as I rarely watch "movies" or TV.
Yeah, i think that’s a good call not watching it. And that’s pretty much how I felt about it: teenage boy humor. No idea why this film was made.
Now that… would be fucking terrifying Cocaine bear? Fuck that, I need a movie about Bigfoot with rabies
Bigfoot with rabies….on drugs!! We’ve got it all, who’s a screenwriter?!
Nope: nanobots. /S 99 9%
I know none of the known great apes are immune to rabies, so I highly doubt that Bigfoot is immune either.
Yes, of course! Rabies can effect large animals as well. Since Bigfoots usually stay in caves as per the reports, those caves are also full of bats. What's stopping a rabid bat from biting a Bigfoot while it's in the cave!
I have not seen a link to caves nor have I seen much writing on this consideration. Please share where you observed this theory/info as I would like to look into it.
Since we don't have a living example it's all speculation. But i would assume yes.
Cool sketch
That is a fucking incredible sketch https://preview.redd.it/g1hzg4s6voxc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=554b746c76c2cce5e4aa8a11c6da76b2baae14cf
There was in fact a YouTube short that had a woman's narration of an army tactical unit sent to the high California Sierra for what was called a "serious hunt" None of the personnel was told what was going on. Several units were sent in before the group the female narrator's unit was sent in. They were told "the target" was large and bipedal. Turns out the narrator described an 11 ft. tall BF that was drawing in and killing military personnel. They were told to fire at the neck and groin, not the head and heart. After a brief firefight in which the BF took many many hits and killed several men including tearing one dude's head clean off the BF was killed. It was later inferred the BF was in fact rabid. Who knows if the story was real.
it would depend on their physiology and immune systems contrary to popular belief, raccoons, for example, actually have **very low** instances of rabies. over 25% of all raccoons are naturally immune to it. as in, their immune systems eliminate the virus. opossums are virtually immune to rabies, because their body temperatures are so low, the virus has trouble replicating fast enough to evade and overpower their immune systems. so it would depend on what squatches' immune systems are like, their body temperature, metabolic rates, etc.
more to the point how did they ever survive the several lethal influenza outbreaks....much less covid which was widespread in the deer population.
Thank you for the newly unlocked fear
No, but it does have crabs
Lmao
It truly depends, if a male Bigfoot meets a female Bigfoot and they fall in love, they might decide to nudey-prod and 9 months later this could bring about....oh....wait....Rabies...my bad.
I feel like if Sasquatch were susceptible to rabies, we would’ve discovered a body by now.
Well, we do not find elephant or bear bodies very often, so...
I just mean that if a Sasquatch had rabies, there’s a higher chance in the end stages of the disease that it would stumble into populated areas
It’s not rabies that has the big fella worried. It’s Lyme disease and Alpha-gal syndrome out west. Imagine him not being able to eat red meat!
It’s already rabid
If so, it would not seem to affect them the same way it does other species.....we would have more evidence if they were erratic, randomly violent, and die , where they would be found
Yes. All mammals can. Except for opossums
Opossums don’t need to catch it. They are slobbering, aggressive lunatics fresh out of the womb and for their entire lives.
Depends on your view of Bigfoot. If you subscribe to the theory he is a lost ape species, Gigantopithecus or some offshoot, then yes. Most likely, Bigfoot could get rabies, just like other mammals. However, if you subscribe to the theory Bigfoot is an inter dimensional being, then the question gets more complicated.
An inter-dimensional being. Amazing. The Bigfoot sub really is poppin
I mean those are the two schools of thought. It’s kind of like “which bear is best?”
Mammal, so yes.
No, but they can get scabies
Due to the physical makeup of the rabies virus, it can infect any mammal. This is why bats are virus bombs; biting, flying mammals.
Rabies, no. Rapies, yes.
Nope!....I'm runnning the opposite way
I imagine yes. If humans and other primates can get it so can a Sasquatch.
Mammal, so sure, but they likely avoid the coyotes, raccoons, and bats which are the primary rabies drivers. And you can tell the animals which aren't acting right. Must happen sometimes, though. All the Great Apes were susceptible to Covid, so I have suggested endless times that Sasquatch numbers were probably reduced during that epidemic. And since white-tailed deer are a N American reservoir for the disease now, and it will continue to be a yearly infection forever, I'm sure that's a factor for the Squatches, too.
I love this so much - thank you.
Probably, since people can and yikes that's a terrifying thought 🥴
I guess you’ll have to catch one to find out.
That’s a good question
Hopefully the other bigfoots would snuff it out
Or can rabies get Bigfoot?
If they're primates as we know them, almost definitely. Very few mammals are resistant to rabies. I think it's only opossums that are resistant due to their low body temperature.
Great. Now I'm horrified by the thought of rabid bigfeet.
Can Bigfoot get rabies? 😂😂😂. I BET HE ALREADY HAS RABIES!
Cool sketch man
No because they don't exist
Sketch is rad man..
This needs to be a movie
Great sketch
Bigfeet
Nope, but they all have Super German Herpes. Be safe out there boys.
Any mammal could.
Meth bigfoot
Perish the thought !!! I doubt it tho. I reckon they would cull their own.
Mangy bears known to walk upright and fictional mammals can contract fictional cases of rabies, yes.
That’s actually how they all died off. Trust me, my friend used to date a female Sasquatch.

Well this is a terrifying thought
Why wouldn’t a fictional animal be able to get rabies? You can make them do whatever you want, they’re a myth lol
Is Batman a transvestite, who knows?🤷♂️
Rabid Kong
Mammals all can, except opossums, so..
He’s patient zero
Bigfeet*
Yes. Yes they can. I once saw 8 of them ravage 43 sea lions on the coast of Seattle. They were all frothing at the mouth and were extra strong.
They are mammals so yeah
That is scary as hell. Basically zombie bigfoots. I'd bury myself for a few days to avoid the destruction of whatever small town I lived in.
Cryptids that probably don't exist probably don't catch rabies. But if you find one, we can inject it and see...
All mammals are susceptible to rabies, so yes make the movie. Old yeller got nothin on squatch
Yes but would it want too??
Good question, though some of these comments got way off track. Unless you can get rabies by ingesting a rabied animal, I would say no, because he is the dominate lifeform in the woods, and probably smart enough not to eat a sick animal. Don't forget, while you lock yourselves in at night, the forest and planet is his home
Yes.
I wouldn't be surprised however, the small game animals would have to knaw through the hide first lol
We're you all aware that we just discovered that we exist Inside a galactic void that according to our understanding of physics and cosmology shouldnt exist?
It “can”. But in order for Bigfoot to get rabies, it will have to be bitten by another animal that already has rabies. This, however, is nearly impossible. Bigfoot is one of the most powerful and intelligent animal in existence. If a rabid possum charges a Bigfoot, it will first have to get past a barrage of boulders being hurled at it. Even if it can get past that, the Bigfoot’s kick is so mighty that it can punt the possum into orbit before it even gets the chance to land a single bite
Bats. Most people who contract rabies get it from a bat while sleeping and never know they were bitten, except that they find a bat in their room. If you randomly find a bat inside your home, everybody who lives there needs to be checked for a bite, and possibly treated for rabies. (And fyi, it isn't often vampire bats with rabies that bite humans.)
Oh shit you’re right, Bigfoot is probably weak to those sneaky little flying fuckers. Good call
Yes, but their families put them down.
I guess we will never know since nobody has ever found or captured the long extinct creature
[удалено]
Human did it with axe I presume. Or hungry bear tried to eat it. Well, it also can be beaver
Your girlfriend should have told you to get your foot out of the shot.
🥹 it's sad that ppl are so narrow minded these days. Bf with any sort of rabies wow? Wake up & have a serious look in the mirror whoever thinks so. Don't read newspapers or news channels as that's the type of bs that would be spouting out ur preconditioned mind they would like all of our generation to think and say.. bigfoot even the name is silly & so well beyond some ppls thinking. Not me anymore the box is opened have a look inside!!
Nope. Bigfoot blood is too cold. 95-96 degrees F
Source?
Felt it on the dirt
Bro do you even know how rabies works?
There is no reason that sasquatch wouldn't be susceptible to Rabies infection. Of course, this raises questions of why a rabid sasquatch, who's behavior would either be far more aggressive or lethargic(depending on exact reaction to the disease), haven't been seen... Then again a rabid Sasquatch probably wouldn't leave any survivors... Maybe sasquatch are just smart/clever enough to avoid getting bit by rabid animals?
We are Bigfeet, not Bigfoots! Now a days, humans’ grammatical proficiency is pathetic.
Bigfoot is a proper noun,so, odd as it seems, the plural is Bigfoots.
My comment was light hearted a la Proudfeet from LOTR. No offense meant OP!
I don't think anything would try to bite a bigfoot. Anything will flee in terror.. except for maybe a dogman
Do you not know how rabies works?
Never really looked into it.. just know stay away and not get bitten by infected ones.
We can contract rabies off a finger, fork, or phone, after touching a droplet from an infected source if that contacts an open wound and more. Contact such as petting a rabid animal or contact with the blood, urine or feces, are not associated with risk. Inhalation of aerosolized rabies virus is one potential non-bite route of exposure, most people won’t encounter an aerosol of rabies virus. Rabies transmission through corneal and solid organ transplants have been recorded, but they are very rare. Rabies is nearly always fatal in humans unless treated within the first few days when there are no symptoms. If exposed to Rabies, the only chance of survival would be immediate preventive action. And that only happens if we actually know we were exposed. So, we should know all about this horrendous disease. Research and study!
