    Do it! And then spit the chairman out into the crowd like Ozzy did that fake bat head.

      That was not a fake bat. Ozzy was rushed to the hospital after the show for rabies shots. If I recall correctly he thought it was a prop and that’s why he did it.

        The also found he had no need for the shots. Rabies couldn’t take hold in his system because the blood was replaced with a cocktail of drugs and alcohol.

          Bats’ immune systems are absurdly strong, due to the risk of contagion caused by the very crowded conditions under which bats roost. It’s also a reason they’re often vectors for interspecies viral transmission.

          So bats can have rabies and be asymptomatic. But if one with the virus bites you, you’re hosed.
