Life ain't a Disney movie

Today, I tried to pet a squirrel because it looked friendly. It did not feel the same way. Now I’m googling things like, "Can squirrels give you rabies?" FML

All mammals can carry rabies, but it's pretty rare in most of them. You're most likely to get it from bats, raccoons, or dogs. Still, consult a doctor if you're not sure. Rabies is a horrible way to die, and there is basically zero chance of survival if you don't get the shot soon after exposure, so take preventative measures if there's any chance you've been exposed.

As long as it was a tree squirrel and not a ground squirrel or chipmunk you're okay. tree squirrels are one of the very few species that are actually immune to rabies.
