You're right. Rabies can be an issue with any mammal. But put in
perspective, a University (I think Wisconsin?) expert on bats wrote once
that the risk of getting rabies from a cow is greater than from a bat.
Then again, the risk of my wife going for a weekend jaunt in my TR3A when
it's finished, is less than getting rabies from a mad banana slug. (She
tells me she likes her comforts now.)
Is that a banana slug, or a yellow Volkswagon foaming at the mouth?
