Can you get the rabies from a mosquito?

[LeftyFingerPop]

I need an answer now.

Hurry up.

[Captain Boomerang]

1. No... I don't think so.

Malaria, typhoid... but not rabies.

[LeftyFingerPop]

3. How about a fly?

[Captain Boomerang]

6. Flies just vomit bile and buzz around.

[LeftyFingerPop]

9. OK, that doesn't worry me.

[Captain Boomerang]

5. West Nile Virus...

Encephalitis... (I think this is when your brain swells.)

[LeftyFingerPop]

7. Great. Something else to worry about.

[Captain Boomerang]

8. Sorry.

[LeftyFingerPop]

11. Too late now. My brain is feeling swollen.

[Captain Boomerang]

15. Pinch your nose shut and tilt your head back...

That might work.

Maybe drink a shot of scotch or bourbon.

[LeftyFingerPop]

21. Too late. I'm sprouting horns.

[Captain Boomerang]

25. You're cured. Being horney is perfectly natural.

[LeftyFingerPop]

30. I have not been horney since the Hoover administration.

[kentauros]

2. Only if it's a furry mosquito

[LeftyFingerPop]

4. I smashed him real good, so I can't tell guts from fur.

[kentauros]

10. I guess you'll just have to wait a while then.

If you start foaming at the mouth and growing hair in unlikely places, call a DU doctor :)

[Captain Boomerang]

12. I do that all the time.

[LeftyFingerPop]

13. My ears are starting to foam real bad.

[kentauros]

22. Yeah, but only get worried if your ears turn pointy

and become covered in red and white fox fur. Or if they get even longer and gimbaled like horse ears...

[LeftyFingerPop]

27. As a matter of fact...

[kentauros]

31. Okay, next step:

Go photograph yourself in the mirror and post here, NOW! :D

[LeftyFingerPop]

33. OK, here is my photo:

[kentauros]

34. I guess your keyboard shrank with your transformation?

Or are you barking the replies to an interpreter?

[LeftyFingerPop]

35. I knew someone would make fun of me if I posted my pic.

[kentauros]

42. I thought we were making fun

with you?...

[Curmudgeoness]

14. No. Stop worrying about it. How many people do you know who...

...have been bitten by mosquitoes? How many people do you know who have had rabies? In fact, how many people have you even heard of who have had rabies? Don't worry the small stuff.

[LeftyFingerPop]

17. I know several people that have been bitten by mosquitoes.

I know a few dozen who have had the rabies.

I cannot say for sure that the rabies was not caused by the mosquitoes.

[Curmudgeoness]

47. I have thought and thought on this. You really know "a few dozen"

people who have had rabies??? Who do you hang around with? Ozzie Osborne wannabe types? This is where I begin to worry about you.

[Captain Boomerang]

18. T-baggers have rabies.

[Curmudgeoness]

28. LOL. Well, maybe I'm wrong. Never said I was an expert. nt

[MiddleFingerMom]

40. T-baggers are always... ALWAYS.. confused and get things wrong.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
When they're arrested, their tea-bagger attorneys try
to get them released under "Hey, be us dorkses".
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
This just results in "normal" judges INCREASING their
jailtime for reasons of "contempt of dorkses".
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
As if.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
In their WILDEST dreams, they ASPIRE to be
elevated to the level of dorkses.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Besides -- Tea-baggers aren't RABists...
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
...they're RACists.

16. No, you get milk from mosquitoes.

[LeftyFingerPop]

19. How many mosquitoes do you need to put in a blender to get a full glass?

[MiddleFingerMom]

24. One...

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
...if you push the button marked "hyperspace fluffy".
.
.

[LeftyFingerPop]

26. Shit. I can't drink milk anymore. I'll be looking for mosquito legs in there.

[MiddleFingerMom]

20. I'm starting to think you're just PRETENDING to be so... ... ... ... "unsmart".

.
.
.
.
.
EVERYBODY knows that mosquitoes don't bring rabies.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
STORKS bring rabies.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The rabies you don't get from the cabbage patch, anyways.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Who is it that calls you "dumbass" allatime?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I don't think I've respected his worldview enough.
.

[LeftyFingerPop]

23. If people on DU knew how smart I REALLY am...

EVERYONE would call me dumb ass.

[MiddleFingerMom]

41. I'd have a sharp and witty retort to this, but I find myself suddenly incapacitated. Lemme show you.

29. This was in my pond the other day

He or she was about 4" in diameter.

[LeftyFingerPop]

32. Yet another thing to imagine crawling up my nose when I am trying to get to sleep.

Thanks a lot.

[Curmudgeoness]

37. Very cool. Does it have rabies? nt

[LeftyFingerPop]

39. Everything has the rabies.

[Curmudgeoness]

36. Stumped. But this article should scared the hell out of you if you are inclined

to worry about mosquitoes. Actually, I hoped it would tell me whether or not mosquitoes carried rabies, but it didn't. Don't open this unless you are joking. Kind of bothered me, and I am not worried about much.

[LeftyFingerPop]

38. Fuck. That's it. I'm going to go live in a freezer. I'll be safe there.

[Curmudgeoness]

44. Well, maybe not. Have you never heard of the freezer spiders?

Can live at temps down to 50 degrees below 0. They carry alzheimer's.

[LeftyFingerPop]

43. PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF
