One the first things I see on the local news this morning is a story about nearly 1000 girl scouts being recommended to get rabies’ shots because bats were found in one of the cabins at their camp. Okay, there are just so many things wrong with this story. Let me outline them for you:1. The bats were found in only one cabin, yet nearly 1000 girls (all at the camp, I presume?) are recommended to get shots?
That must have been one hell of a big cabin to house all of the girls. Come on! A few girls stay in a cabin with bats and now everyone may have rabies?
2. They had no proof that anyone had been bitten, but are taking precautionary measures. The story on the news even said that girls may not have known if they were bitten in their sleep.
If a bat bites me in my sleep, I’m gonna wake up…period. Give me a break.
3. About 12 years at Tar Hollow 4-H camp as either a camper or counselor and I probably slept among bats on at least half a dozen occasions. Did I get rabies shots?
NO! Either the counselors and/or Dan would get a broom and kindly escort the bats out of the cabin. The End! I can only wonder how the girl scouts would treat mice, bugs, or raccoons, oh my!

Duh - they clearly have to vaccinate ALL the girls at the camp because the 8 or 10 campers who may (or may not) have been bitten went around biting all of the other campers before their week of wholesome fun ended.
Those Girl Scouts are a bloodthirsty group.
... and do you really want to admit so publically that you used to hang out at a place called "Camp Tar Hollow"? Really?
Good point, I guess the name doesn't really do the place much justice! For the record, I've never actually seen any Tar there!
Just checking to see if I can comment on a blog withouth getting surf controlled.
Yay! I did it! I have nothing to say right now, but I am sure I will have excellent comments in the future.
With all due respect to the legal profession, I venture to guess that camp administrators was advised by their legal counsel to recommend the shots!
