Overreacting probably
So, i am probably overreacting and I have read the FAQ. I also did contact the Greek CDC , but the guy literally told me to wait for him to google it and then read back to me the first result from google which i already had in front of me of course.
Exactly a week ago i was sitting outside with some friends at a village area in Greece wearing shorts. A bat of about 5cm long landed on my ankle right above my sock. I instantly thought it was a cockroach and hit it with my hand killing it on my ankle.
After probably 2 minutes (was having a conversation at the moment so didn't think much of it) i decided to look what it was since it felt different than a cockroach, more fluffier. I found the bugger in the grass dead and actually completely oblivious of the dangers i picked it up (with the tips of my fingers, didn't move, bit me or scratch me at this point) looked at it and made some wtf comments with my friends and threw it away to the bushes because we had kids around this area during the daylight.
Come three days later the story about the kid in Canada from 2024 hists my social media and i am like connecting the dots and freaking out. Two doctors i called told me to ignore it and the local CDC was clueless (literally clueless). So i go about 4 more days taking their advice which is based on that i cant see any scratches on my foot i should be ok. But its is now a week later and i am thinking that i do actually have a scratch on my hand which i didn't think to look at until now. Which could very well be from spearfishing after the fact but i literally have no idea if it happened when i squished it. I also read that their teeth are so fine that i wouldn't notice, and thinking that it was so small that even if it bit me it should show like the few mosquito marks i have at that area.
I now have a upset stomach but i may very well be from stressing about it and having a three year old adds to this stress.
I think i need a reality check probably but the local authorities not even telling me to check it out at a hospital doesn't help either.
What says the common knowledge,?
Thanks for listening 😄
