bit by a squirrel

So the other day I got bit by a squirrel. I was walking past the firepit at Winkler Bible Camp when all of a sudden I noticed a squirrel running along a log in front of me. I stopped, then it stopped. I walked closer and it jumped to the ground. I walked even closer. Soon I was standing over it and it still hadn't moved. Sweet! I reached down and grabbed it. As soon as my hand touched it its head spun around and chomped on my finger! Its teeth latched onto my thumb and I jumped back and yelped! I started flailing my arm around but the squirrel wouldn't let go! Finally, with the last bit of strength in me I flung my arm way back and it released and went sailing behind me, landing with a thump 10ft from me and scurrying off. I looked down at my thumb. The little critter had bitten right through my thumbnail and there was also a hole on the other side of my thumb that had started pouring blood. Ouch. Soon others began hearing of my... misadventure... and recommended I call the Public Health number to ask about rabies. phffff. There's no way I was going to call. Ok, fine. I called. They began taking down my medical information and finally the question was asked. "... So did you happen to.. provoke.. the squirrel?" Hmm. Yeah. yeah, I guess you could say that. I went and got my Tetanus shot.
