Chammers was named as a joke about a joke about a fulfillment platform software product that no longer exists.

Now I'm going to rehome him, and his new family will probably rename him. They won't know why he was ever called Chammers.

Will they even wonder?

I’m gonna need you guys to tag rabies tbh

I’ll put it up on my pinned. It’s a huge form of paranoia for me. My mind is constantly telling me that I have it and that I’m going to die, so it stresses me out a lot.

so if it's the anticoagulant agent in mosquito saliva that causes bites to itch as an allergic reaction, do vampires that follow similar rules also do that?

My mom's into holistic health things which whatever but it's led her down the antivax pipeline. Which. She hasn't been full blown until the last year or so, so I'm glad it wasn't when my brothers and I were kids but now she doesn't want the cat to get his rabies booster

rabies vaccines for humans are extremely expensive, extremely painful, and only last for 1 year in the body. it's much more effective to give people post-exposure vaccines if they get bitten rather than put someone through immune system hell once a year unless they specifically work with animals.

Thank you anon for contributing and leading me down a google search path about variation in vaccine immunity duration. Finally I have a reasonable explanation for why we don't vaccinate for rabies.

Also, immunological memory is much more complicated than I thought, with underlying mechanisms that likely cause rabies immunity to be this short lived. I was under the impression that all thoroughly developed vaccines would have an immunity period of several years, with the exception of rapidly mutating pathogens like the flu. Turns out that this is in fact not the case.

Here's an interesting article about how complicated memory cells are:

My barbarian Navari thinks pretty much anything can be her friend. Including the raccoons that live under her back deck...because she keeps feeding them.... She likes them because of their little grabby hands.

batman: journey into knight #3

[ID: several people in hazmat suits with flamethrowers venturing into a cavern. They're all flenching back in fear at a swarm of bats that are attacking them as we can see several corpses in multiple stages of decay on the ground. Bruce Wayne's internal narration reads: ‘Bats. Diseased, infected bats. Few people like bats. I'm in that minority. Most people hate or fear them. Me, I'm usually thankful they're around. But every once in a while even I have second thoughts. This was one of those times.’ We see a team of people in green P.P.E. as they study a bat in a lab and then we see Bruce laying on a medical exam table with wide eyes as two doctors peer down at him. He thinks, ‘C.D.C. analysis revealed the bats carried an unknown toxin. Harmless to bats—fatal to humans. But not to the carrier... and not to me. The fever nearly burned me alive—but broke in time for me to avoid a premature autopsy.’

‘Can't know for certain why I survived... But I'd wager a childhood spent exploring the caves under the Manor had something to do with it.’ Despite his fond reminisce, we can see Bruce as a child screaming as he gets fucking attacked by bats and surrounded by them in the dark. Currently, Bruce sits in the Batcave shirtless as he smiles slightly to himself and continues to journal, ‘All those bites—so many I lost count. My body must have built up an immunity to the bats' bacteria... which could explain why I survived my brush with the far deadlier variety.’ END ID]

lifelong insane fear of rabies vs lifelong love of bats FIGHT.

my dumb idiot rabbit brain when i am experiencing a Symptom: RABIES? RABIES? RABIES?? IS IT RABIES?!

[wallabywannabe]

Petra is a bit embarrassed she was so dramatic about going to the vet and nothing bad ended up happening.

Catching her was a little traumatic. I thought I prepared well, but she still escaped and I had to hunt her down and force her in the carrier.

She was quiet until ten minutes into the car ride, when she decided I didn't love her anymore and she did a very good impression of a cat yowling in extreme pain. (Eerily similar to how my old cat when she was literally dying. Not cool Petra!) Petting seemed to reassure her, and she switched to more "I'm displeased with the situation and demand you fix it" type of yells. When we finally got there, I think she was relieved to be out of the car and her heart rate was remarkably low for a cat at the vet.

Super quick physical exam, no shots, no bloodwork, then back in the car in 10 minutes and she looked at me like, oh, was that all? And instantly fell asleep for the whole ride home.

DCxDP: Immunity system

Danny gets confused for Tim Drake when he stop for gas in Gotham on his way to visit Dan. His clone had set up shop- a literary comic book shop- in Metropolis.

Danny was going for the weekend to help him run the red dot sale and also spend time with his Clone turned older brother.

Dan after being released from his prison and getting a Core Cleanse in the FarFrozen ectoplasm iced pools, had mellowed out greatly.

It turns out Dan had gone mad after suffering a dip in contaminated ectoplasm. He called it "Pit Madness" and Clockwork assured him it was a real medical condition

Much like getting bitten by a rabies-infected animal, Dan's condition was not his fault despite turning him violent.

After the Big Reveal with his parents - who took the news surprisingly well- Team Phantom introduced Elle and Dan to them.

The two clones had been quickly made official Fentons and now Danny had an older brother and a young sister.

Elle lived at home with Danny and his parents, but Jazz and Dan moved out after high school graduation. Danny was thinking of moving in with Dan to go to college.

He wasn't sure, but he still had a whole year to decide.

Danny found a gas station within his GPS map and stopped at the closest one. There weren't a lot of people around, so he assumed that was a slow day.

He was not aware the locals avoided the area due to the danger of feuding gangs. He was also unaware that while pumping the gas, a Scarecrow goon was watching him.

That goon knew his boss had been getting a bit bored with his experiments, and he knew it wouldn't be long before his boss turned on his employees to relieve his boredom.

He was just starting to sweat, thinking he would be the new genuine pig until Tim Drake himself rolled out of a beat up car in the bad part of town.

He practically gift-wrapped himself for Scarecrow! The goon grins, creeping up behind the distracted young man.

One of the employees' inside the gas station had clocked Tim Drake too and had been staring at him - how could he not when Tim was a Bi icon?- and sees the moment the goon covers the boy's mouth with a clotch and yank him into a van that speeds away.

For a moment, the employee only gawked after the speeding vehicle, too shook to do anything as it disappears around a corner.

He scrambles for his phone to call 911. He prays that his slow reaction does not cost Drake's life.

(His call's transcript pings on Oracle's program designed to pick up the civilian names of the Bats if ever used in the emergency hotlines)

Sadly it is hours before the Bats have even an idea of where Tim (actually Danny) was taken to.

Danny wakes up in a warehouse, strapped to a table. He only had a brief moment of thinking his worst fear was coming true ,his parents, were going to rip him apart molecular by molecular, despite it being two years since they learn.

Thankfully a man dressed in a ridiculous Halloween costume steps into the light and he knows it's not his parents.

"Lovely expression Mr. Drake. Let's see how lovely that fear truly is," the man says in a raspy voice, holding up a needle. He stabs Danny with it and the boy blanches as the hot liquid enters his blood stream.

A minute goes by.

Two.

Three.

"Ugh was that supposed to do something?" He questioned, moving around his restraints to check his chances of escape without outing himself as Phantom.

The camera pointing at him limits his options.

The man dressed as Scarecrow lets out a gleeful cackle. He doesn't answer Danny, instead turning to the door- from where Danny can lift his head, it looks like he's in a basement of some kind- and shouts, "Bring me experiment six two six!"

A bulky man comes in carrying a tray of tubes. Danny watches as Scarecrow carefully selects a tube and pours it into another needle. "Lets see how you handle this"

The answer is Danny handles it very well. In fact he takes all seven tubes without a single reaction. Honestly it's the needle that's a real bother.

Scarecrow is both impressed and slightly insulted by the end of it. "How did a simpleton chloroform work on you but not my brilliant science!?"

Danny squints at him. "I would call this many things but never science, let alone brilliant, you fruitloop."

He gets knocked out again for his cheek with a new chloroform rag.

He wakes to the same made leaning over him again, but this time, there is also a clown in purple. Danny can only stare as the clown cackles.

"I think you're losing your special touch if Tim Drake is immune to your Fear Gas." The clown says, and Danny wonders if a costume convention exists in town.

Danny is happy to see that besides being knocked out and tied him down they haven't really done anything to him. "Who are you supposed to be?"

The clown face spams before a wide, mad grin breaks across his face. If Danny were to look of the definition of madness in a dictionary he knows this guy would be the example for it.

"I'm just a simple chum who wants to see the world laugh," The clown tells him, holding a squirt flower in Danny's face. "Let's see that smile!"

Danny squeaks as the liquid splashes in his face, some going up his nose. He coughs while the two men stare intensely at him.

After a moment Danny gets himself under control. "Ugh what was that? Is smell nasty"

The clown face freezes, rage bleeding into his eyes as the scarecrow one scoffs "seem you are also losing your touch, chum"

"No no no. Our little friend just needs a higher dosage! I'll have him laughing in no time!"

He doesn't. After a gas tank full of that nasty-smelling stuff is forced onto his face, and five different needles stabbed into his arm the clown is forced to admit Danny is immune.

They still call him "Mr. Drake" even though Danny tells them between needles that's not his name.

After hours of attempting to get a reaction out of him- both by clown and scarecrow- , Danny is knocked out again by the little rag.

When he comes two three people stand over him. The two from before, though clown now looks murderous and scarecrow politely interested, and a women in green with leaves splat across her outfit.

So Danny got kidnapped by a Scarecrow, a clown, and a nymph? Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke.

The gas mask is forced back onto his face and another Danny struggles he can do nothing as he is forced to breath in a new gas.

The woman watches his reaction with a keen eye before nodding "He should be pretty far gone now"

Scarecrow shakes his head. "There isn't a single reaction. He isn't affected by your pheromones."

The woman scoffs, leaning over Danny and fluttering her eyelashes "You're going to kill dear old dad for me"

Danny glares at her. "Like hell, I will."

His voice is muffled by the mask but they hear him and the woman actually looks shocked "He might need a higher dosage "

"By all means, give it a try. Neither Joker or I saw a difference in Mr.Drake even after adjusting his intake."

"How is that possible?"

"Maybe because you all suck!"

The clown slams his hands on the table. "I am one of the best chemists in the world, brat!"

"And the ugliest!"

Danny doesn't see the knife until it's pressed repeatedly into his left leg. He screams around his mask as the Clown spits and swears at him.

The other two only watch, neither seemingly bothered by the man stabbing a teenager.

Then the knife is plunged into his stomach, and he screams as the world almost whites out in agony.

Danny, blinks the white hot pain, and is just barely thinking of going ghost when the door bursts open and a group of people wearing more costumes pour in.

A man dressed as a Bat flings the clown away with an outraged cry. Danny can't see where the clown lands, but he hears fighting all around him.

A boy in a hood and mask appears in his line of sight. There is a worried frown on his face as he quickly picks at the locks keeping Danny down "Do not worry, Drake, we are here."

Danny finally gives in to the pain, running to blissful darkness as a man in a red helmet lifts him off the bed and makes a run for the door.

The kid provided cover for them.
