Lol just lol. I have pet lizards and I found a dead bat in my luxury condo after the remodeling contractors left the windows open. In a first world city. When I was little, a bat nested in my parents’ bedroom and I got to see a bunch of baby bats. She put them in the balcony and mama bat carried them away somewhere.

Lizards are harmless (except for nig ones like Komodo dragons), geckos are pretty docile unless you fuck with them. Lizards are actually beneficial since they eat bugs. I stayed in a rural Mediterranean village house with literally hundreds of lizards crawling all over the walls and the ceiling. Which meant I didn’t have to worry about mosquito and spider bites. Lizards are awesome and you are a complete idiot for trying to kill such a harmless and beneficial animal.

I must agree with Boo-you on all!!!!!! PARAGUAY IS THE BEST!!!! and if you are afraid of what the world got to offer, don´t travel and stay in your house..

Lizard: That ‘light lizard’ its found even on the Sheraton Hotel in PRY, ARG or BRZ if they don’t spray venom (which is way toxic than a bug eating lizard), poor houses, mansions.. even supermarkets.. WELCOME TO TROPICAL CLIMATE!!! the poor thing is not bigger than your thumb and your finger.. eats bugs (that’s why it hangs out near lights and and bugs areas)DOES NOT have teeth, DOES NOT have poisonous stings… and I HIGHLY DOUBT IT YELLS AT YOU GODZILLA LIKE.

Bat: Asuncion’s Downtown is a very Old/new architecture display full of rich past and history. The streets are NOT ROUGHER than the nights of any other US city (small or big), if anything.. at least you can see it coming. The old building/houses in downtown Asuncion have almost intact construction, from the brick to the wood on the ceilings, bats are Asuncion’s night night bug vigilantes. Some live in mango trees that you can see all over town, some try to warm up and hide from inclemency sneaking through old buildings roofs. That is the case your heart attack BAT. Not a Rat, Not a weasel (I’m currently in L.A. having some friend fun, yesterday walking through West L.A. a WEASEL BIGGER THAN MY BAG walked through my Patisserie table to make to the other side of the street) not even a huge roach or skunk.. a Bat..

Hotel: Why do you complain so much?, is not bad.. have you told this people how much are you paying or payed for the hotel? … the Miami hotel in PRY is the CHEAPEST thing you can find not to open your tent in the Plaza Uruguaya 2 blocks from it. AND still has running water, service all night, a bed.. and I can BET money that the sheets were clean.. if you are so delicate (which is the NO NO number UNO to NOT BECOME AN ADVENTUROUS BACKPACKER) why didn’t you at least pay $70 a Night to stay in a HOTEL?.

Shots? for a dead bat? freaking out? cause you saw an inoffensive lizard?… Staying up? what the ghost of the bat was gonna give you vampirism from hell?.. So Lame!!!

Absorbing cultural richness comes with a price, requires to getting from our comfort zone, be informed, be receptive, and to learn that in other cultures it can be possible to live respecting nature environment and live in harmony.. without dying, fear of rabies and cancer just cause a cow looks at you. Learn that you not as perishable as you think.. and if you think you are.. playing the MIGHTY ADVENTUROUS TRAVELER might not be your thing.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Paraguay is so culturally rich and beautiful, that I think this is offensive to whomever knows how to travel abroad and makes the most out of an experience.. not writes a whole book about a dead bat, and fabulates to enrich the drama. You should either travel on a tour bus, or pay the money you have to have it all 5 stars without autochthonous interaction (specially from wild life).. I had to say this, cause this thing I read it’s just Lame.

so, i guess he was there the whole time, even with the light on, but you just didn’t notice him? maybe not. maybe he ate some poison, decided to check out the ceiling for a bit, and then just dozed off into death.

that’s too much. way too much. i’m afraid to come back to this blog. i might wake up next to a dead tiger or some shit. unreal.

i can imagine you tellin this story in a bar. people will just be like GTFOH.

As for the bat, yeah, that is odd and I am glad you went to get the vaccines. Totally worth the money. Weird he just died on you, weird.

you’re planning on getting all five shots, right? be safe

The shots in the stomach thing is no longer done. You get it in your deltoid (arm) and it feels like any other shot. If you have a bite, you also get a shot of immunoglobulin at the bite.

It´s ideal to get the shot the same day, but as long as you arent showing symptoms, it is worth it to get it at any time you can.

i saw a mouse in my place once, looked at it with bemusement, then went right back to sleep.

pussies.

not surprised that people don’t know they’ve been bitten. i think bats secrete an anaesthetic in their saliva so they don’t wake their victims. btw, i understand rabies shots are especially painful. did you get them in your stomach?

the fact that you got the rabies shot right after the incident means that you’re in the clear. the incubation period is usually a minimum of 2ish weeks.

LOLOLOL. I am going to call you batman from now on.

oh another thing. never kill a lizard. They are your friends, they will eat spiders, cochroaches, etc. Of course, like you say, a huge lizard isnt a good sign because it shows that there are plenty of insects around.

IMO from my experiences living in Miami, a dead lizard in the house was always a good sign (death by starvation)

how do you know the bat was actually dead? Maybe it was just sleeping…

PS. Your story only proves that it is now time to move on to more popular parts of the countries you visit…..Rio is the place to be……
