https://www.dshs.texas.gov/rabies/treatment/bats/scenarios In general, if you find an injured, sick, or dead bat, do not touch it. If you need assistance, contact your local animal control agency or local health department. Bat bites are not always visible. Therefore, in situations in which a bat is physically present and there is a possibility of an inapparent exposure, the bat should be captured and submitted to a rabies laboratory for testing. If rabies cannot be ruled out by laboratory testing, people with a reasonable probability of an exposure may be recommended for rabies postexposure treatment (or for domestic animals, a requirement for a booster vaccination(s) and quarantine or euthanasia). Scenarios that may indicate a reasonable probability of exposure to rabies include: a child touches a live or dead bat; an adult touches a bat without seeing the part of the body they touched; a bat flies into a person and touches bare skin; a person steps on a bat with bare feet; a person awakens to find a bat in the room with him/her; a bat is found near an infant, toddler, or a person who is sensory or mentally challenged; or a person puts their hand in firewood, brush, a crevice, or a dark space (i.e. a closet), experiences pain, then sees a bat. Immediately call your local animal control agency to have a trained officer sent to capture the bat. If you are unable to reach anyone for assistance, recommendations for bat capture are as follows: remove any children or pets from the room; wear leather gloves; avoid direct contact between the bat and bare skin; confine the bat to one room by closing the windows and doors; turn on the lights if the room is dark; wait for the bat to land; cover the bat with a coffee can or similar container; slide a piece of cardboard under the can that has the bat trapped; and tape the cardboard directly to the can. If any possible contact between the bat and a person or domestic animal has occurred: do not release the bat; and contact your local animal control agency or law enforcement agency to arrange for immediate submission of the bat for rabies testing. If you are certain no contact between the bat and a person or domestic animal has occurred: take the container outside immediately; and release the bat, preferably at night and away from populated areas. When capturing a bat, avoid striking it if at all possible. Physical trauma can damage the brain and make it impossible to conduct rabies laboratory tests.

Do not keep adding to his credibility. He is not criticizing public health in good faith. It’s bullshit. -

Medicare won't be covering it after the CDC pulled their recommendation. Watch. -

I went through something similar. I was a VERY heavy drinker and thought I might be an alcoholic, but I've been able to quit successfully for about 2 years so I don't think I fit the profile. This thread was extremely helpful to me in understanding the differences between heavy drinking and alcoholic disease. I suffered from depression and anxiety and my drinking increased as I was dealing with the hormonal changes of perimenopause. Different scenario, but worth mentioning because I am certain I am not alone. This book helped me a great deal: https://a.co/d/57fssar I also embraced mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, and hormone replacement therapy. YMMV.

I've never heard of that, but seems legit. I'll attempt to soften my judgement.

There is hope. Public Health regulation of the milk supply to prevent disease and filtration of the water supply for the same purpose began in the 1890’s and they have crushed that. We just need to continue this downward spiral 100 more years to tar and feather time.

Not trying to be an asshole. Please consider smoking cessation programs. They work and will save your life.

Just a note to those on the fence about joining a gym: Check your health insurance plan. My plan through BCBS is offering basic gym membership at places like 24 hr, Crunch, and the Y for $28/mo. Seniors are free through the Silver Sneakers program. Worth checking out.
