In psychology, dissociation is any of a wide array of experiences from mild detachment from immediate surroundings to more severe detachment from physical and emotional experience. This includes Functional Neurological Symptoms (formerly known as conversion disorder). The major characteristic of all dissociative phenomena involves a detachment from reality, rather than a loss of reality as in psychosis.

Thanks for the click! Before we get started, here's some pics of me;
Selfies
As the title suggests, I'm 26 from the UK (Hull) but location isn't a dealbreaker for me. I've been out of the dating game for a while, and looking to see what's out there. Obviously the ideal is something long-term, but gotta take everything one day at a time I guess.
Don't want to give too much of myself away, else what's the point of conversation? But safe to say I'm more of a liberal-minded guy, so not looking for a trad-wif etc. Just hoping to find someone that's emotionally available, who can share a decent sense of humour and knows what they're looking for I guess.
Probably my best "selling-point" is my deep voice, which is sure to comfort and reassure you! Give me any sentence and I'll make it sound like the most intimate, meaningful words you've ever heard haha.
Trying to keep this short but sweet, but I know I'm not the athletic or assertive guy a lot of women seek. Put it this way; I'm more likely to write a poem than cause confrontation! Feel free to send a message if you wanna find out more, but wish you all a great day regardless!

2024.05.19 02:11 kookiepop AITAH for wanting to kick my boyfriend out of my apartment after we've recently moved?
I have been dating my boyfriend for the past year. I have moved every few months getting my career started, and he has moved with me as best he could including some stretches of long distance. Now I finally have stability with a new apartment and a new city, and I let him live here rent free. He makes my house feel like a home by cooking meals and cleaning. I was hoping this would be our happy place. I was encouraged that he would get a job and start settling in like I have and we could have a normal peaceful life.
Unfortunately, there is this recurring problem where he gets angry and "loses it" every few weeks. Our arguments usually devolve into him screaming at me or mocking me which does not make me feel appreciated or respected. He will violate my boundaries when I ask him to calm down or take a step back by escalating or continuing the argument for hours, not allowing me to get alone time or rest. The most recent was I had gotten home form work after a long day, and he accused me of not supporting his career ambitions. He was frustrated and said that I would not move across the country to help him start a career in the same way he did for me. I told him that I am willing to compromise on location up to a certain distance, but that I cannot move locations right now due to my new job. I encouraged him to look at options within our area. The conversation usually devolves with him yelling saying I'm standing in the way of his career goals. After a few hours of him complaining at me for his career path, he then asked me to make him a cocktail and cussed me out when I said we don't have simple syrup. I then tried to explain that I need to relax and unwind before my work the next morning and I asked him to stop yelling and come watch TV with me. He then started mocking my voice and hand gestures, and told me to "F Off". I told him to get out, and he left and slept in his car. We've had this same style of argument every few weeks for a year, usually this same subject, but this was the first time where I really felt I needed to throw him out. There's just too much on the line for me now to let him bring me down. I also worry about when he screams what the neighbors think and what might happen if we start getting noise complaints when he gets out of control. It's like he's a totally different person and he can't regulate what's going on in his head.
I want to evict him because I do not feel like I can have my peace in my own apartment. I also don't feel like I will be able to start a family or marry him because I do not want a lifetime of this negative communication style. In our year together, this has been a recurring argument style with no improvement, and I have suggested couples therapy with no follow through. It's at the point where I just have given up seeing the positive aspects because I feel so disrespected during our arguments. I want to care and find a compassionate forgiving side to this, but I think I've tried enough with enough chances and the other side of me just doesn't care. I've tried to explain my needs and why this is hurtful, but it just feels like a phony tap-dance because he has proven to me he will not treat me with respect when he is angry and never seems to protect my boundaries. My boyfriend isn't on the lease, doesn't know anyone in this state, and isn't yet working a job. For my peace and sanity, am I the asshole for evicting him from my home? I don't imagine the relationship would continue past here either,.. I guess that would be another effect

We want everyone to feel welcome here!Good Photos: Clear, in focus photos in natural light give you the best chance at assistance.

A short description of yourself/shop/nursery in the comments would also be appreciated. This applies for self-promotion of YouTube channels or affiliated Blogs. T Shirts are not allowed to be posted.

Max 5 posts Per Day (24 hours): If you have more than 5 photos you wish to share, or have identified, they must be posted as an album. You can utilize Reddit's own image uploading, or an external image upload site, such as Imgur. This is to keep the sub relatively clear, and to keep posts from getting reported as spam.

A hot topic, and often asked about for newcomers realizing just how much sun their plants need! A search of the sub itself should yield enough posts for you to have a good idea what to look for. Beyond that, you can look through previous years' Overwintering Megathreads.We also have a dedicated section on Grow Lights in our FAQ. For a rundown of basic light specs, check this post out.
Have a plant health question? Help us help you by using the below guidelines:
Information, information, information! Try to keep your answers to the below concise and easy to read (bullet points are easier on the eyes than paragraphs).- Description: A well lit photo and/or detailed description of the issue.
- Drainage: Is the plant in a container? What kind? Does it have a drainage hole?
- Potting medium: What kind of mix is the plant potted in?
- Water: How often do you water and how much?
- Sunlight: Where is the plant situated and what is its exposure to sun like? Direct/indirect sunlight? Hours per day?
- History: How long have you had the plant, when did this start, and have any changes been made recently? (E.g., repotting, location change.)
- If concerned about rot: Are any sections of the stem, roots, or leafs mushy to the point where there is no structural integrity? Any unusual odor or changes in color?

Okay im sorry this is a rant post. i used to work here for 2 years and although its a franchise and some restaurants may actually be legit and safe, I worked in 2 different locations and the kitchen didn’t give 2 flying squirrels whether food was actually gluten free or not. My managers said many locations don’t. For a company that preeches allergy safety, THIS PLACE IS A SCAM!
Ive had every executive chef laugh in my face, roll their eyes, and make my life a living hell bc they couldn’t do a simple google search to understand why they’re doing their job wrong. They are supposed to have a very specific part of the kitchen that is entirely gluten free, dedicated fryers, dedicated woks and stuff. NONE OF THAT. They skip it because they’re lazy. They’d laugh at me for saying the gluten free chicken is no longer safe bc they put it into a shared fryer with normal breaded chicken.
DO NOT EAT HERE!!! Or if you do, be warned.
I used to love this place, honestly I really miss their food. But i can’t trust it and it sucks. Makes me not trust other restaurants unless they’re dedicated gluten free. My managers and every server would lie straight to ppls faces and say they’re safe.

2024.05.19 01:27 franklin13215 Huckleberries Syrup in beer
I used to live in Montana and had plenty of options for wild huckleberries to use in beer. Getting them shipped to my new location looks like it would cost an arm and a leg. There are some huckleberry flavored sugar free syrup that could be a cheaper option. Does anyone have experience with flavored syrup in beer? Is it like using extracts in seltzer?

2024.05.19 01:09 JustCallMe_Z Light of the Traveler clan recruiting for Mature, Chill Guardians [18+][USA][Discord Req'd]
Hey there, I'm Z and I'm the clan lead for Light of the Traveler. This may be a long post, but please read through if you're looking for a group of genuine people to play Destiny with. We're a clan that was founded at the launch of D1. Some of us have been around that long, and some of us have only joined in the past year or so. What's kept us together is not only a common interest in the game, but a common desire for likeminded friends that enjoy each other's company regardless of whether we're playing D2, playing other games, or just talking about random things in life. We're not a huge clan, and we like keeping it that way so that everyone can get to know each other (15-20 active members). Now, we're looking to add to our community with new folks leading up to the release of Final Shape. If we sound like what you're looking for, keep reading.
As a clan, we're not super intense but also not super casual. Most of us like to do endgame PVE (raids, dungeons, GMNFs, etc.) and sometimes we group up for PVP (iron banner, trials, etc.). The majority of us are located in US East and Central time zones. We typically play on the weekends and some weeknights. When the game is buzzing and there's new content, we usually do at least 1 raid per week. Right now, we have 2 teams preparing for the Final Shape contest raid that have been running master raids, and now Pantheon, as practice.
Over the years, I've realized that not everyone is a good fit for our clan. The people who tend to stick around are those that actively participate in our Discord and make an effort to play with and talk to other members. If you're looking for a clan to teach you things, we're perfectly willing to do that if you're willing to learn. But if you're looking for a clan to carry you, or one where you just log on for the weekly clan rewards, you won't last long with us and it'll waste both our time and yours. As a new member, we'll give you a couple of months to gauge your activity. We understand life happens and certain things should take precedence, but we appreciate consistency.
If you've gotten this far and you're still interested, great! Here are some baseline requirements:

As a clan, we're not super intense but also not super casual. Most of us like to do endgame PVE (raids, dungeons, GMNFs, etc.) and sometimes we group up for PVP (iron banner, trials, etc.). The majority of us are located in US East and Central time zones. We typically play on the weekends and some weeknights. When the game is buzzing and there's new content, we usually do at least 1 raid per week.

If you've gotten this far and you're still interested, great! Here are some baseline requirements:
- Joining our discord is mandatory. It's where we chat and find people to play with, so participation is expected.
- Be on PC or current-gen consoles (PS5, Series X) for a smoother experience and to use discord.
- Minimum age to join is 18. We're all adults, and this is a strict rule.
- Be chill, respectful, and mature in your interactions with everyone else.
- East/Central time zone is preferred. Schedules tend to align much better but if your schedule in another time zone allows you to play during our usual times, feel free to reach out.
- What you're looking to get out of the clan and your current experience level
- Discord username

2024.05.19 01:09 AnalysisElectrical30 I love our Faith dearly, but
Im becoming increasingly frustrated with some of the practical details.
Homophobia, burial, no confession, no priesthood: all those become side points to 1 hopeless topic: scheduling.
My goal is to attend (at least in part) every feast and HD, and so I originally saved 2 online calendars
https://www.bahai.us/events-calendaholy-days/
https://www.bahai.org/action/devotional-life/calendapdf-calendar
for this purpose. They are misleading. A third paper calendar is confusing: it highlights 2 days per feast or HD, and so I do not know which day I should keep free.
Earlier this year, I was supposed to deliver a professional presentation on a certain Wednesday evening. Believing it would conflict with feast, I delayed my presentation. As it happened, feast was held the day before the calendar date given. Therefore, it was an unnecessary postponement.
I declared on same day that Bab did, which Ruhi 4 (my authority) says is May 23. The night of my act was indeed "May 23", in the early evening. Last year, I believe the program began at 9 pm, somewhat later. This year, our observance will be a day earlier however, in the early evening. (I am tempted to bicycle around our locked center the next day before sunset, to honor the original date) I do not understand why this variation is necessary for the same location and same event.
I know that sunset begins a new day in our Faith and Christianity (which makes sense if someone works grave); we also have our civil time changes, and the seasonal changes throughout the year, all of which affect the schedule.
This calendar
https://www.bahai.us/community/
is apparently correct for actual ceremonies. Is it possible it can be extended for 6 months or a full year?
Is there a formula for predicting dates and times, so I am not surprised by changes in the first 2 mentioned calendars?

2024.05.19 01:05 hoggersbridge Engines of Arachnea: The Bug Planet (Chapter 23: Fishing)
Link for all the chapters available here: Engines of Arachnea on Royal Road
With the coming of morning Rene found the earth enwreathed in a grey and sinuous fog that was so thick he felt like he was standing on the shores of an ocean of sky. Only the lapping edges of the wide pond he had located was visible beneath rolling tails of mist. He couldn’t even tell where the heavens ended and the water began—they had all joined together at the waist in one vague mass. It all had filthy, sooty smell to it too, like the inside of a baker’s oven. As through a clouded window pane he saw a red and malevolent haze glowing on faraway slopes to the southeast. Zildiz noted his bewilderment and taunted him:
“Don’t you recognized your own handiwork when you see it? An entire biome went up in smoke because of the Engine’s rampage. Not that I mind—all this is Leaper territory after all.”
“Cry me a river,” Rene scowled, dipping his boots into pond and wading into it. It was only knee height at the deepest point. What’s more, he could see the blurred outlines of small darting shapes below the surface that he hoped were fish.
He made Zildiz sit with her back against a sapling and bound her to it with the spool of webbing he’d collected.
“Don’t get any ideas,” he told her. He slipped off his boots and raggedy socks, rolling up the jumpsuit around his calves and getting back into the water.
At first he tried to get at the fishes with his bare hands. It would be just as easy as catching the milky cave species they raise in the aquaculture ponds back in Ulysses, he thought. All one had to do was slip one’s hand in with glacial patience so as not to disturb them, dipping the palm right under their bellies. Rene had gotten so good at it as a boy that he could even tickle them right in the gills and under the chin. But he soon discovered that the fish on the surface world were nothing like their subterranean cousins. For one thing, they weren’t blind, or stupid. The little rascals fled when he floundered after them, feet slipping on the mossy stones that covered the pond bed. Zildiz looked on with interest as the single worst attempt at hunting she had ever had the misfortune to witness began. This Rene-creature was as clumsy as it was slow-witted, splashing around in fruitless pursuit of its feeble prey. How had these animals ever managed to conquer the stars? Zildiz watched as Rene stubbed his toes on a sharp rock and howled, falling arse-backwards and losing his visor in the process. He then painstakingly dredged the pond bottom for it, turning it up some time later all covered in water lilies and mud. Rene angrily slung his backpack back on and cleared the gunk out of his mask before fitting it back on his face, only to begin yelling as a river crab he’d left inside tried to crawl up his nose. He tore the mask off again and doused it in the pond, finally ridding himself of the curious crustacean.
“Phew!” he sighed with relief.
“Toss it in again,” Zildiz suggested gaily, “At least that way you might catch another.”
“Shut up,” Rene glowered, face going purple with rage. He grabbed the biggest stick of driftwood he could find and began beating the surface of the water as if it owed him money.
Zildiz hid a smile at that. She was famished and events had definitely taken a turn for the worse, but at least someone else was suffering more than she was.
And while this halfwit is preoccupied, Zildiz schemed, I’ll go ahead and signal the god for help. She activated the magnetosynaptic organ behind her inner ear and tried all the usual frequencies.
Nothing but static. Either her organ had been knocked out of commission with the loss of her exomorph’s functions, or the heavy smog caused by the wildfire was getting in the way of reception.
But more than this, a greater part of the Vitalus would be preoccupied with containing the damage to its work. As a shared consciousness It had unimaginable processing power, yet It tended to deal with the world in a holistic fashion, neglecting the individual elements. This did not mean that the god could not be effectively omniscient—It merely had a wholly different perspective and hierarchy of priorities than did Its mortal servants.
For problems on the micro scale, it did however deploy Hollowores or other Inkarnids. Zildiz wasn’t vain enough to think it would send such an avatar of creation and destruction just to retrieve one lone Gallivant. No help would be forthcoming for a while. No matter; she was certain that she could outsmart the Fleet-man soon enough.
Then something happened which drastically altered her perception of him and his kind. Rene grabbed another stick and banged the two pieces together, frowning with concentration. Without a word he returned to the survival kit and combined them with the spool of webbing, twisting them together into the silk and rotating them to create something that was greater than the sum of its parts.
Grinning evilly, the Fleet man took the two sticks and the webbing strung between them and gently lowered them into the pond. He then waited, tongue sticking out the corner of his mouth as a fish approached him. When it refused to come any closer, he took one of the white cubes and crumbled it into pieces, which he sprinkled liberally into the water right above his new tool. Eventually the fish took the bait and swam in for a nibble. In a flash Rene pulled up the net and held up a wriggling, pinknosed carp with an ecstatic cry of victory. Chuckling at his own cleverness, Rene hauled his catch to the bank and dashed its brains out on the rocks. He then repeated the process until he caught three more carp with the exact same method. He gutted and descaled the carp with his clasp knife in a trice.
Zildiz was seeing the boundless cunning of these creatures firsthand. It bothered her more than she cared to admit. Granted, if her exomorph was up and running she could’ve killed him in a heartbeat, humming sword or not. But the rate at which he had adapted to his surroundings was concerning.
For comparison, say a Gallivant wished to specialize in the catching of fish. It would have had to ask the Vitalus to edit its gilt helix so that its exomorph could accept the grafting of an appendage designed solely to catch fish. This was assuming the Vitalus had calculated that the addition of this new capability would not lead to the eventual collapse of the riverine ecosystem in the next ten or twenty generations, or that the Gallivant in question could be entrusted with such a responsibility, assuming that its lineage’s previous contributions to the Great Game rendered it worthy of the sudden advantage.
Meanwhile, Rene had developed the net tool in less than the span of an hour, with absolutely zero regard for the consequences of his actions. Zildiz could only imagine what an entire nation of Renes could do if they were given time to multiply beyond Arachnea’s carrying capacity. Clearly this Fleet was a threat not to be taken lightly.
Rene finished cleaning the fish and skewered them on sharp sticks. He then found some pebbles and started banging them together to produce sparks above a pile of bark scrapings and twigs, careful placing one of the brown lumps from the kit inside. It was just as successful as his first attempts at fishing; he smacked the rocks together until he bruised his fingers, then hurled them cursing into the fog.
“Sonofa…” he swore, squatting next to Zildiz and looking at the raw fish dejectedly.
“What, you can manage all that but can’t get a fire going?” she asked, nodding at the blaze in the distance. Rene made no reply, too busy sucking on his thumb. Suddenly he unsheathed the sword and Zildiz nearly panicked, thinking that she had finally annoyed him to the point of violence. Instead, Rene picked up a chunk of quartz crystal off the ground and cut it in half, producing a shower of sparks as the edge met the mineral. Rene piled the fuel again and repeated the trick with the sword and the stone until the tinder caught and tiny streamers of smoke wafted up. Cupping his hands around the precious heart of flame, Rene blew on it lovingly and smiled as it grew into a merry, crackling cookfire.
Making sure to give Zildiz a smug look, Rene sat cross-legged next to it and began to barbeque his meal. Zildiz had built fires herself during the cold monsoon seasons as a special allowance granted by the Vitalus for extreme weather fluctuations, but those had been for warmth, not to burn food with.
The smell of the browning fish skin flooded Rene’s mouth with spit. He saw Zildiz licking her chops unconsciously, said:
“Don’t worry. You’ll get yours.”
Sure enough he held out first batch of carp for her to eat, blowing on it to cool it. Zildiz even forgot her hostility for a moment as she seized the fish with her jaws.
“I can feed myself, you know,” she told him between crunchy mouthfuls of bone and white flesh. It was delicious! An explosion of flavors that was at once both salty and slightly burnt, the meat firm yet succulent. Swallowing greedily, she pulled the fish off its stick and ate it whole, the fish’s head crackling under her molars. Rene watched her choke the thing down with a mix of amazement and alarm, then replied:
“I would consider giving you an arm free to eat with, but you’re a walking arsenal, lady. Is it good, though? My cooking?”
“Passable,” Zildiz lied with a shrug of her shoulders. Her affected disdain did not stop her from giving the rest of the carp a longing look. Rene knew she was hungry and tore the next fish in half, gorging himself and giving Zildiz the rest. Very soon all that was left of their breakfast was a pile of bones and scales that Rene kicked back into the pond. He sat back and propped his bare feet next to the fire to dry his toes.
“Uuurrpp!” Zildiz belched appreciatively.
“Bless you,” Rene commented, and settled down for a nap. He could only rest his eyes for a moment, as the woman would slit his throat as soon as he let his guard down. But the fatigue of the constant marching and fighting amassed on the edges of his consciousness. Slowly but surely, he was pulled down into the untroubled realm of sleep, free from the cares of his existence.

2024.05.19 01:04 SchrodingersMinou Rabies FAQ - Please read before posting!
Before you post a question to this subreddit, please read the following points. I know, it's a lot to read, but 99% of you will get answers to your questions here. These points contain verified, accurate FACTS as verified through the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO).
1. Is this a bat bite?
Bat bites cannot be identified from a photo. No one, not even a doctor or a bat biologist, can identify a bat bite from a photo. If you think you might have bat bite, ask yourself: Have you seen a bat in your home? Did you sleep outdoors where a bat might have bitten you? Did you pick up a bat in your hand? If you answer no, it's HIGHLY UNLIKELY you were bitten by a bat. Again, bat bites cannot be identified from a photo.
2. Can I get rabies from interacting with an animal? Can I get rabies from touching something? What about if a drop of liquid falls on me? Can I get rabies from contaminated food or water? Can I get rabies from a person?
No. YOU CAN ONLY GET RABIES VIA DIRECT CONTACT WITH A RABID ANIMAL. This means being bitten or scratched by a rabid animal. Rabies is transmitted via the saliva of an infected animal in the late stages of the disease, when the virus is being shed in the saliva by the host animal. The rabies virus dies almost immediately once it’s outside the body. You can’t get rabies from touching something a rabid animal touched. You can’t get rabies from your pet meeting a rabid animal and then bringing it home to you. You can’t get rabies from touching roadkill. You can’t get rabies from something falling on you. You can’t get rabies from touching or kissing someone who has been vaccinated. You can’t get rabies from touching something wet. You can’t get rabies from touching any surface whatsoever, even if you have a cut on your body or you touch your eye/nose/mouth afterwards. Getting rabies from touching an animal and then touching your eye/nose/mouth is theoretically possible, but this has never happened to anyone in recorded history.
3. I found a suspicious mark on my body but I didn’t find a bat in my house. Did a bat sneak into my house and bite me without me noticing, and then sneak back out?
Bats are NOT invisible or ninjas. If you wake up in the morning with a mark on your body, it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY to be a bat bite unless you find a bat in your house. If a bat gets in your house, you will see it. They are not good at finding their way out on their own. It’s very unlikely that a sober, alert, adult human would not notice being bitten by a bat. Finding little marks on your body is not unusual and that is no reason to assume an invisible bat attacked you.
4. I saw a bat near me. Or I heard a bat. Or I saw something that might have been a bat, but it didn’t touch me. Did a bat bite me without me noticing?
Bats cannot fly past you and bite you in mid-flight. That is physically impossible. A bat must LAND on you, hold on to you with their tiny fingers, and then bite you. After biting you, they must then push off of you to take flight again. Bats can be small, but they're not invisible or imperceptible. If you would notice a big bug landing on you and biting you, then you would notice a bat doing it too. If a bat makes physical contact with you, there is a possibility that it may have scratched you, and rabies shots are recommended unless you are in a country free of bat rabies. If you find a bat in your house and you are not in a country free of bat rabies, you should catch it and submit it for rabies testing; if you can’t do that, you should get rabies shots; if you have small children, they should get rabies shots.
5. An animal touched me, licked me, or sneezed on me. Could I get rabies from this?
You cannot get rabies from a wound that doesn’t break the skin. Rabies can only get into your body through an opening in your body: a scratch or bite. If you are bitten or scratched by an animal, you should wash the area with soap and water for 5 minutes. If it does not bleed at all, you may not have broken the skin and could be in the clear. You can test this by putting alcohol on the abrasion to see if it stings.
6. Can I get rabies from an animal that has current rabies vaccinations? Can my pet get rabies if it has current rabies vaccinations?
No. You cannot get rabies from an animal that has current rabies shots. If you are bitten or scratched by someone’s pet, ask the owner for proof of rabies vaccination, like a rabies tag on the collar. Take a photo or copy of these records and call their vet to verify them. If the shots are current, you're not at risk of rabies infection. If the pet owner cannot provide this proof of vaccination, contact your animal control department or rabies management / health department to file a "Bite Report". If you are in the USA, you can find a list of those agencies here: https://www.cdc.gov/rabies/resources/contacts.html
7. Can I get rabies from my pet, or from a friend or neighbor’s pet?
You may not need to get rabies shots if you can observe the animal that attacked you for two weeks. If you are bitten or scratched by a pet that is not vaccinated for rabies, the standard protocol is to quarantine the animal in an animal shelter or veterinarian's office for 10-14 days. If you were attacked by someone else’s pet and that is not possible, you can observe the animal for 14 days. If it doesn’t get sick and/or die of rabies, then you are not at risk of rabies and do not need rabies shots. If the animal is healthy in 14 days, IT DOES NOT HAVE RABIES and neither do you. Since most animals in the late stages of rabies typically die in about 48 hours, this is a very cautious timeframe to observe.
8. Can I get rabies from a bug, bird, lizard, or frog? Can I get rabies from a possum, or a rat or mouse?
No. Only mammals (furry animals) can carry rabies. Reptiles, amphibians, insects, and birds can’t carry rabies. Bats are one of the most common rabies carriers in the US, although less than half of 1% of all bats will ever get rabies. In the USA, the next most common species are raccoons, skunks, and foxes. Outside of the USA, dogs, cats, and other animals have been known to spread the rabies virus. The least common mammals include Virginia opossums, rodents (rats and mice), rabbits or hares, and squirrels. Globally, the #1 risk of rabies is dog bites.
9. Is there a risk of rabies in my area? Can I get rabies in India, or the UK?
To learn about rabies statistics for your area, Google your state or country's name and the phrase 'current rabies statistics'. These websites will tell you how many rabid animals have been found in your area and what species. They should also tell you who to call to report a bite. Some parts of the world are rabies-free and there is no rabies or risk of rabies infection. The UK (and most of western Europe) is free of rabies in most animals except for bats, which is rare. India has a high rabies risk from dogs and other mammals, but rabies is very rare in bats in India and has only been found in bats in a couple areas in Nagaland.
10. I was vaccinated for rabies. Does that mean I am protected for life and will never need to worry about it again?
No. Previously vaccinated people still get boosters if they are re-exposed to rabies. Your rabies titer can be high for a few months or for many years, but it is assumed that you are protected for at least three months after getting your initial shots. If you are bitten by animal and it has been less than 90 days since your last shot, you don’t need to do anything. If it has been more than 90 days since your last shot, you would still need post-exposure booster shots IF you are directly exposed to an animal that could be rabid. You do not need to go through the entire series of shots again; you only need booster shots.

11. I was vaccinated for rabies but I did not receive HRIG (Human Rabies Immunogloblin). Why? Is that OK?
HRIG is sometimes not given if there is no visible wound or if you were bitten/scratched in a location that is hard to inject. For instance, it would be hard to inject HRIG into your ear. If you have no visible wound, then there is no way to tell where HRIG should be injected. If you have more questions about this, ASK YOUR DOCTOR.
12. I got rabies shots but I have questions about the specific medical care I received. Why did the doctor give me the care I received? I’m immunocompromised; do I need extra shots? Will my medication interact with the vaccine?
Ask your doctor questions about the specific medical care you received. People on the internet cannot answer those questions. A doctor’s job is to treat patients and explain their care to them so it is OK to ask follow-up questions even after you leave the office.
13. I am in a country that is not the US, or I am traveling. Why did doctors in my country give me a different schedule of shots than the ones recommended by the CDC or the WHO? Why did doctors in two different countries tell me two different shot schedules? Will the shots work?
Yess. Rabies protocols vary by country. The CDC guidance is specific to the USA, and the WHO guidance is a recommendation for all countries. Some countries give different numbers of shots on different days. That is OK. The schedules all work as long as you stick to them and finish the series. To find more information about a country’s rabies shot schedule, google the name of the country + rabies vaccination + regimen or protocol or schedule.
14. I waited a long time before I got rabies shots. Or I drank a beer after I got vaccinated, or I took an aspirin. Or a doctor gave me tetanus shots at the same time. Will the rabies shots still work?
Yes. Rabies vaccines are 100% effective if you get them before the virus reaches your brain and symptoms start, which usually takes 3 weeks to one year. For more info about symptoms, see FAQ #17. If you have more questions about your medical treatment, ASK YOUR DOCTOR.
15. I think I have health anxiety and I can’t stop thinking about rabies all the time. How can I get help for this?
See this link. The automod can be summoned to share this information with a comment that includes the word “helpbot."
16. Someone is asking questions in the sub that I think are super dumb. Should I tell them that?
No. Please do not be rude or impatient. There is a real difference between a legitimate rabies scare and Persistent Health Anxiety (PHA), a subset of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). OCD and anxiety are real diseases that can have physical symptoms, and there are treatments for them that many people don’t know how to access. Both conditions are terrifying and life-altering, and both conditions deserve support. In this group, we support people who ask for help and we applaud them for finding the courage to do so. We will be kind, patient, respectful, and do our best to provide emotional support to anyone who seeks help here. I will be posting a separate FAQ to address the health anxiety issue. All posts and/or replies that are in any way unkind, impatient, or rude will be immediately removed and the author may be temporarily or permanently banned from this group. Be nice!!
17. I feel sick. Do I have rabies?
If you feel sick, see a doctor. You may have another disease, including anxiety, which can have physical symptoms. We cannot diagnose you over the internet. See a doctor.
The rabies virus generally has an incubation period of 3 weeks to 1 year from the date of exposure. If you believe you are experiencing symptoms before 3 weeks after exposure, that is not rabies. If you think you are experiencing symptoms more than 1 year after exposure, it is almost certainly not rabies. if you have not been exposed to a rabid animal and you believe you are experiencing rabies symptoms, you are not infected and are most likely experiencing anxiety. the prodromal stage lasts for a few days to a month and the acute neurologic stage lasts for a few days to a week; if you have symptoms that last longer than this, you do not have rabies.
Rabies symptoms only begin when the virus reaches the brain. It MUST reach the brain and produce SEVERE NEUROLOGICAL symptoms before it reaches the throat and salivary glands. This means that your sore throat is NOT caused by rabies unless you also have a severe fever, are experiencing loss of consciousness, paralysis, and seizures.
Also, rabies symptoms do not go away until death. You don't have a fever and then the fever goes away for the next symptoms. Every symptom stacks on top of the other symptoms. If you are experiencing 1 out 10 symptoms, it's NOT RABIES. Rabies is not mild. It's SEVERE in every way. If you are experiencing rabies symptoms you will need to be hospitalized within the first 8 hours of symptoms.
IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO GET VACCINATED UNTIL SYMPTOMS START, but only get vaccinated if you were attacked by a rabid animal. Waking up with a mystery scratch is not a rabies exposure.
Rabies symptoms are as follows, IN THIS ORDER:
Prodromal Stage:
• Extreme Fever
• Extreme Headache
Acute neurologic phase:
• Visual Disturbances, Hallucinations
• Delirium, Confusion
• Tremors, Seizures, Repetitive Uncontrollable Movements
• Fading In and Out of Consciousness
• Light Sensitivity, Sensitivity to Wind / Moving Air
• Partial Paralysis of Extremities, Paralysis of One or Both Legs or Arms
• Excessive Salivation, combined with the inability to swallow AT ALL, not even your own saliva which causes excessive drooling
• Inability to Swallow - NOT SORE THROAT - Inability to eat or drink, or swallow your own saliva production
• Extreme Aversion to sight or sound of water, food, or drink, AKA hydrophobia
• Coma
Without extreme medical intervention, which usually is an induced coma, these symptoms will progress to death very rapidly. Most patients who reach the point of excessive salivation and hydrophobia die within 12-24 hours without intervention.
IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING THESE SYMPTOMS, CALL 911 AND GET TO A HOSPITAL IMMEDIATELY. IF YOU CAN REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE, YOU ARE NOT EXPERIENCING RABIES SYMPTOMS. PEOPLE WITH ACTIVE RABIES INFECTIONS CANNOT TYPE, TALK, OR DEBATE WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE SICK. IF YOU CAN READ THIS AND REPLY, IT'S NOT RABIES.

1. Is this a bat bite?
Bat bites cannot be identified from a photo. No one, not even a doctor or a bat biologist, can identify a bat bite from a photo. If you think you might have bat bite, ask yourself: Have you seen a bat in your home? Did you sleep outdoors where a bat might have bitten you? Did you pick up a bat in your hand? If you answer no, it's HIGHLY UNLIKELY you were bitten by a bat. Again, bat bites cannot be identified from a photo.
2. Can I get rabies from interacting with an animal? Can I get rabies from touching something? What about if a drop of liquid falls on me? Can I get rabies from contaminated food or water? Can I get rabies from a person?
No. YOU CAN ONLY GET RABIES VIA DIRECT CONTACT WITH A RABID ANIMAL. This means being bitten or scratched by a rabid animal. Rabies is transmitted via the saliva of an infected animal in the late stages of the disease, when the virus is being shed in the saliva by the host animal. The rabies virus dies almost immediately once it’s outside the body. You can’t get rabies from touching something a rabid animal touched. You can’t get rabies from your pet meeting a rabid animal and then bringing it home to you. You can’t get rabies from touching roadkill. You can’t get rabies from something falling on you. You can’t get rabies from touching or kissing someone who has been vaccinated. You can’t get rabies from touching something wet. You can’t get rabies from touching any surface whatsoever, even if you have a cut on your body or you touch your eye/nose/mouth afterwards. Getting rabies from touching an animal and then touching your eye/nose/mouth is theoretically possible, but this has never happened to anyone in recorded history.
3. I found a suspicious mark on my body but I didn’t find a bat in my house. Did a bat sneak into my house and bite me without me noticing, and then sneak back out?
Bats are NOT invisible or ninjas. If you wake up in the morning with a mark on your body, it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY to be a bat bite unless you find a bat in your house. If a bat gets in your house, you will see it. They are not good at finding their way out on their own. It’s very unlikely that a sober, alert, adult human would not notice being bitten by a bat. Finding little marks on your body is not unusual and that is no reason to assume an invisible bat attacked you.
4. I saw a bat near me. Or I heard a bat. Or I saw something that might have been a bat, but it didn’t touch me. Did a bat bite me without me noticing?

2024.05.19 01:04 Civil_EventVevo Characters who could defeat Phontus
Hi guys! I’m making a character named Phontus and in the history of my world, a bunch of characters have tried to take him down. I want to know if you guys have any characters that you think could defeat him
Sorry if I sound a bit narcissistic, I’m mainly just curious and I want to know what kind of characters could beat. Also, if one of your characters can’t beat Phontus, please include which phase they’d be at.
The insides of his body are filled with distilled liquid magic and catonite. The distilled liquid magic makes it easier for his body to process magic and it also acts as his bodily functions and as his muscles. The catonite gives him other functions that the liquid magic wouldn’t give him. His “heart” is a tatarium (a relic that can seal souls, spirits and even gods) that is filled with hundreds of souls. It is located near his belly.
First Phase: War Pig
By utilizing the catonite and distilled liquid magic within, he is able to activate the elemental effects of catonite.
By activating the tatarium within his body, he is able to utilize 100% of his inner power.
Feel free to ask anything about Phontus that I haven’t included!
