- The new rabies treatment is just intramuscular shots, not through
- the belly wall. Still, it doesn't sound like fun.
-
- There is also a human rabies vaccination available to people who
- are likely to be exposed to rabid animals. Found out about it
- when I stopped in at Student Health to get my allergy shot and
- was sent to a different treatment room, where they were drawing
- up a very different looking vial of serum. "Oh, you wanted
- your _allergy shot_. Sorry. Thought you were one of the new
- vet students here for rabies shots." 8-o
