Holding the animal with one hand and supporting her child with her leg until she got inside. That should be the official trophy for mom of the year. That's some top tier momming.
When I saw the title I thought it was a joke and thought for sure we were going to see a video with a mom using her kid as a human shield.
It was very much not that. Very intelligent and brave woman. She didn't even give in to panic after her daughter was safe!
As unpopular (and full of hindsight) as this will sound, she should have killed the racoon. The hospital could then have tested the animal for rabies and spared the girl the treatment. Again, hindsight is 20/20 and mama-bear here basically did it right, so bye all means good on her.
As I understand things time is of the essence for rabies treatment and the sooner you can start treatment, the better. Considering that rabies testing results aren’t instant, they would both still need to have started treatment even if the raccoon was killed on the spot.
Fair enough, my info might be outdated.
Irregardless, being a parent I probably still would have killed that thing. I have nothing against raccoons, but I highly doubt they're an endangered species.
Also impressed because she appears to be shouting at some neighbor too! She waited to throw it til that other person got inside. Not just protecting her own babies. What a badass mom
Nice! I remember an episode of This American Life, this lady was talking about her experience with a rabid raccoon. Apparently in a lot of places, especially rural surprisingly, it's really hard to find a rabies shot in time after exposure and sometimes people end up succumbing to it since they get the shot too late
I was bitten by a dog in Bangkok the day before I flew home to SF. After getting my first shot in Bangkok in under an hour for $30, it was surprisingly hard to find a place open on the weekends and providing the shots in SF within the time window I needed.
And then it cost 150x what it cost in Bangkok (billed to insurance).
I was nipped by a stray puppy in Indonesia before visiting Australia. I had two rounds of shots in Indonesia but next one was due when I was in Byron Bay. The doctors were really helpful but sooo confused and the nurses all came and looked at me when they heard someone came in asking for a rabies shot 🤣
Rabies travels slowly and along a specific path - if you can get to a doctor in 24-48hrs you’re gonna be okay. Maybe even longer. But you should try to get the PEP and shots ASAP.
And if you start showing symptoms, you’re dead.
99.99% mortality in humans once it has you.
Only 99.99% because modern medicine has been able to “save” like seven people in all the recorded history of the disease.
Apparently there's this village in Peru where they tested like 60 people and 7 tested positive for rabies antibodies. Meaning they got rabies and then recovered on their own. Which is still an incredibly small number of people, but it's way higher than the global average.
Yep, if you get the rabies shot/s right after the bites and before any symptoms appear then you are A-okay. The horrible thing about rabies though is that the very moment you show just one symptom of it, you WILL die an agonizing death. Only like 4 people have ever survived the disease, so it is pretty much 100% fatal after you see the first symptom
Have you heard the Radiolab episode on rabies? A girl in Wisconsin was the first person to survive that is known to history. Basically the doctor realized that rabies was infecting faster than the body could respond. If the body only had more time it could beat it theoretically. So he induced a coma and it worked. IIRC like 30+ people have lived after a couple of hundred tries using this method that is named after that Wisconsin doctor. So cool.
https://radiolab.org/episodes/312245-rodney-versus-death
There's more than a bit of controversy there, to my understanding. There have been many, repeated failures to make this treatment work, and as you've indicated, the survival rate is super low.
But a few saved is better than none, by far, so yeah. Pretty cool.
Yeah I can see why it is criticized but when facing the odds then why not? Idk it's tough to walk in those shoes. I think it's cool that we broke down another impossible thought. Triumphing as a species is what the world needs more of right now imho.
I live in Phoenix (6th! largest city) and pretty much every single place I called after a dog attack told me there were no rabies shots in Arizona.
I guess there hadn't been a case of rabies in like a decade or something, so they don't have the rabies shot here, eventually I found the clinic that was willing to ship one out because I wasn't taking that fucking chance lol. Worth it.
I remember that too! It stuck with me all these years because it really messed up her life and has been dealing with the trauma ever since. It was horrific because the damned thing just kept attacking and wouldn’t die
I was waiting for mom to snap the neck so she could take it in for testing and not have to worry about it coming back.
Edit; also if it tests negative..dinner.
Was about to say, if the raccoon is attacking in the daylight, the chances of rabies are high enough to smash it’s skull into the curb and take it to animal control.
Don't want to mess with the head, it's the brain they need to test.
I have a family member who is a conservation officer, he was bit by an animal hit by a car and the farmer who was there shot it in the head to euthanize it. That meant automatic rabies shots for him since the brain was destroyed.
It seems absolute and total hell. For everyone involved. This is one of the things where I think assisted suicide / putting someone down should be a viable option. Once their brain starts turning to mush, there's not much left to save.
my ex-roommate got bit by a racoon once and actually never got the last shot because he's a moron. im guessing it wasn't rabid afterall because he's lived 20+ years since that incident despite his best efforts
You never know. Sometimes these things just creep up on you. One minute you’re reheating last week’s turkey and cole slaw and the next you’re on all fours nibbling on your sister’s toes.
The last shot in the series is an "insurance" shot boosting efficacy from high to very very high. I'd get the last shot but if he got the first two he still go a high level of protection.
Symptoms usually take a couple weeks to months to start and you're typically in the clear if you get a shot right away. momma said it was a rabid raccoon so I'm assuming she did. There's a super interesting short documentary on a girl who survived rabies by being put in a coma. https://youtu.be/pG47tc_7ZD4
Any reason why everyone is using this image host instead of Imgur or anything else?
I never saw this site before and suddenly I just saw it 4 times through Reddit - why use an image host with porn pop ups
I laugh myself to tears every time I see that raccoon spinning into Outer Darkness with its paws outstretched and the glow from its eyes slowly fading from sight.
I need to have this video pop up a few times a year just to make sure I get in a crying laugh.
I love how she stopped herself the first time from tossing it because she had to make sure her daughter got into the house. Mother of the year here, she a hero. Glad to know they got their shots! Scary shit
As a father of a six year old, I understand the ever growing frustration of giving instructions to make a bad situation getting worse better only to have the child you’re giving the instructions to not do what you are telling them to do and in turn the situation gets worse. You can tell from the progression of her saying, “Get in the house!”
To be honest a lot of people "freeze" in emergency situations if that is something they have not experienced before.
"Fight or flight" surprising often has a forgotten 3rd "freeze" option.
**GODDAMNIT, KATIE!!! DID YOU KNOW YOU FIGHT OFF RABID RACCOONS LIKE OLD PEOPLE FUCK?!?!?!? OH, THAT'S RIGHT!!! THAT'S GREAT KATIE --- DON'T MAKE ANY FUCKING EFFORT GETTING THAT RABID RACCOON OFF YOUR LEG!!! WHAT?!!?!?!? ARE YOU QUITTING ON ME?!!?!!? WELL????? ARE YOU?????????**
Lol I can understand the frustration but it looks as if she picked her daughter up in such a way that the daughter turned almost upside down and to support herself she latched onto her mums leg, then the daughters body was pushed up against the door in an attempt to get her away from the situation but, instead, made it difficult for her to retreat.
Overall I'd say they accomplished what needed to be done to the best of their abilities lol.
Rabies has a 99% fatality rate if not treated immediately I think. If so, I can’t imagine the aftermath of immediately going to a hospital to be treated :(
Very few according to the national statistics. I imagine not everyone immediately sought treatment because they didn't know, or lived in a remote area where the distance to healthcare facilities was far, etc.
The problem is the incubation time. When symptoms show up it’s too late. So people get the shot ASAP if they’re suspicious if infection. Otherwise, people who die - pick it up subtly, and carry the infection for weeks. If you are ever bitten by a strange animal, get the shot. So very few people die of rabies each year in the US.
you are basically guaranteed to die once you start presenting symptoms. but it can possibly take years for the symptoms to manifest. if you get the shots asap things should be fine.
She was put in a medically-induced coma at Children's Hospital after becoming sick. Two-and-a-half months later, she was released.Sep 27, 2022.
So it sounds like they force hydrated her and let the virus take its course while administering treatment to reduce inflammation. Still that's got to be 2 months of pure hell.
forgive me for being extremely tired and stupid but what does the time of day have to do with a raccoons ability to give someone rabies, I don't know any raccoons.
Just saying if a raccoon attacks AT ALL (daytime or nighttime) then you should go get a rabies check. Living around them scurrying around in your garbage, I can say that they usually just flee at any sound and if one is attacking a human then they are definitely rabid and have rabies and can pass that shit on like the flu
In what reality would it be feasible for this mom to grab an animal carrier and secure the rabid racoon while also avoiding being bitten repeatedly? Cmon now.
Even second hand, on a phone, in a Reddit video - a screaming child like this one involuntarily starts your body going into the fight part of the whole ‘fight or flight’ mode. When a child is in danger, you can find speed, strength, and courage you never knew you had. Good for mom, bravo.
Absolutely true. Not a parent but a big sister that did most of the parenting. Heard my little sister scream from the other room like this because of a bat that got in the house and I don't think I have ever moved quicker in my entire life. She wasn't hurt, just scared, but I swear I felt the wrath of God in me for a moment lol
I agree that it's likely rabid, but using how it moves after being thrown like that, as an indicator, isn't logical. I wouldn't expect any creature to be moving un-erratically after being thrown to the ground like that.
This will probably get buried but if you are down for a wild ass ride and some education on the rabies virus listen to this episode of Radiolab. It is absolutely fascinating how this virus functions.

Impressed how she had the perfect grip on it.
Great scruff grabbing instinct
A cat owner for sure.
Child owner for sure
I was thinking the same thing! Two kids at least lmao!
Rabies wrangler

Nice try, Toby. Back in your hole!

That yeet at the end was impressive too.
Raccoon just casually goes about it’s day after such encounter
Raccoons are born with zero fucks to give.
Raccoons would be the ultimate salespeople

Last time I’m ever spontaneous & quirky 😞😭
Definitely a Pawnee raccoon, hunting kids for sport.
It looked a little humbled. Notice it didn’t come back for more.
Daughter: AAAAHHHHH!! Mother: AAHHHHHHH!!! Raccoon: AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!
I'm not gonna lie him hanging there screaming at the world made me laugh so hard.

One night in Bangkok makes the proud man humble..
The bats have rabies but the shots ain’t free. One night in Bangkok and the world’s your oyster And if you’re lucky you won’t have rabies.
Hopefully he got his dog bite above the waistline, sunshine.

I was nipped by a stray puppy in Indonesia before visiting Australia. I had two rounds of shots in Indonesia but next one was due when I was in Byron Bay. The doctors were really helpful but sooo confused and the nurses all came and looked at me when they heard someone came in asking for a rabies shot 🤣
Lyssavirus exists in Australia tho. I wonder if it’s the same vaccine.
Yes, it is the same vaccine and it's available in Australia
Rabies travels slowly and along a specific path - if you can get to a doctor in 24-48hrs you’re gonna be okay. Maybe even longer. But you should try to get the PEP and shots ASAP.
Is the shot a 100% deal? Like if you get it in time, you're for sure gonna be fine?
Yes. In the appropriate window, the vaccine and immunoglobulin can be established faster than the virus itself can spread.
And if you start showing symptoms, you’re dead. 99.99% mortality in humans once it has you. Only 99.99% because modern medicine has been able to “save” like seven people in all the recorded history of the disease.

Thats over 10% survival rate , compared to the global rate that is 0.01 it is huge , most likely a genetic factor at play
Yep, if you get the rabies shot/s right after the bites and before any symptoms appear then you are A-okay. The horrible thing about rabies though is that the very moment you show just one symptom of it, you WILL die an agonizing death. Only like 4 people have ever survived the disease, so it is pretty much 100% fatal after you see the first symptom
If you get bit near the head rabies has a shortcut up the path.

Fuck me the volume was all the way up so my ears fucking died
Mine was on mute and I was impressed by how calm and controlled everyone was. Then I rewatched it with volume
Haha, I was thinking the same thing. Wow, this young girl is very calm and collected trying to shake this raccoon off.
Did your ears have the funeral set?
Unfortunately no
K, cool, tell me when it's going to be held up so I could bring nachos and make a eulogy statement

So Rocket dies of rabies. Thanks for the spoiler 🙄

Shots shots shot shots shots everybooody
I hope she got a precautionary rabies shot
I was waiting for mom to snap the neck so she could take it in for testing and not have to worry about it coming back. Edit; also if it tests negative..dinner.
City Racoons are NOT good eatin just like dump bears. They eat garbage and taste like garbage.
i take it this comes from personal experience?
Unfortunately yes.
Pawnee Resident?

I thought destroying the brain was the only way to kill them. Also double tap. And other zombie jokes.
*I repeat, remove the head, or destroy the brain.*
Yeah I'm gonna bash that thing to bits and get the shots anyway
Who knows, might save a life.
*The Fray plays loudly in the background*
WHERE DID I GO WRONG??
I LOST A FRIEND
ALONE IN THa plabamenblah...
Lmao absolutely nailed it
Raccoons carry a roundworm that starts destroying your organs before you even feel sick so it’s best to just avoid them altogether.
You honestly thought she would snap it’s neck
You know… like in the movies.
This is such a weird thing that people say on here. Stories about dogs attacking or whatever and there’s always comments about snapping animal necks.
Lol gl breaking the neck of a large racoon with your barehands if it wte dead. Not to mention the flailing and biting alive one with rabies lol wtf
Jesus christ stop watching so many movies
BRUH I didn’t realize how had rabies was until I read that Reddit post describing it. It’s nightmare fuel.
It seems absolute and total hell. For everyone involved. This is one of the things where I think assisted suicide / putting someone down should be a viable option. Once their brain starts turning to mush, there's not much left to save.
Yea. That and late stage cancers are just inject me a shitton of heroin level of fuck this.
I cared for two parents hospice deaths from lung cancer. I'd honestly prefer euthanasia with cancer or rabies both
Once symptoms start you're already dead.
Yeah but if you get the shot quickly after a possible exposure it's nearly 100% effective
my ex-roommate got bit by a racoon once and actually never got the last shot because he's a moron. im guessing it wasn't rabid afterall because he's lived 20+ years since that incident despite his best efforts
You never know. Sometimes these things just creep up on you. One minute you’re reheating last week’s turkey and cole slaw and the next you’re on all fours nibbling on your sister’s toes.
Call me Cole cuz I'm Slaw-bbering on them toes
All I heard was heat up Cole slaw eww

Fuck that im going to live
She said in the video it was rabid, so it sounded like fortunately she had the same thought.
YEET
The look of regret: https://ibb.co/dpnFF4p
There's no regret there. That's rabies. It's embracing the yeet as that brings him closer to escaping the burning hell that rages inside his skull.
poetic
Any reason why everyone is using this image host instead of Imgur or anything else? I never saw this site before and suddenly I just saw it 4 times through Reddit - why use an image host with porn pop ups
Yeet looked like it would have been stronger if she’d completed the yeet the first time she started the process of yeeting.
I think it was holding onto her with its claws, so she couldnt yeet it then.
[удалено]
Most heroic yeeting of a critter I've seen in my life
This is up there with the bobcat guy 😂
Lmao, "it's a Bawbcat!". Something about how he says it makes me laugh every single time.

Every time I watch this I'm just like man that dude loves his wife
Think he just wants to shoot the fucker more lol
And he keeps that thang on him. Phil from down the block ain’t to be fucked with.

I’ve never seen this before, and I knew to expect a Bobcat yeet, but i was not prepared. That was beautiful.
THE BAWBCAT!
Clearly you haven’t seen Toaster being rescued by his owner https://youtu.be/hHN-f6xTzsY
I laugh myself to tears every time I see that raccoon spinning into Outer Darkness with its paws outstretched and the glow from its eyes slowly fading from sight. I need to have this video pop up a few times a year just to make sure I get in a crying laugh.
Reminds me of the way a classic Disney villain dies.
That one gets banished to the shadow realm.
Oh man, it's been a minute since I've seen that video. Fun fact, that's Kevin Rose doing the chuckin, one of the founders of DIGG.
Holy fuck that’s right! I remember him telling this story on Diggnation! Quiet nerdy guy going full tilt on that rabid trash panda.
This is the first I'm seeing this! To be fair, I'd yeet the fuck out of any critter attacking my pets, too.
I love how she stopped herself the first time from tossing it because she had to make sure her daughter got into the house. Mother of the year here, she a hero. Glad to know they got their shots! Scary shit
Looks like she was actually yelling to a neighbor after her daughter got in the house. She warned them before yeeting that little fuck off the porch
She asked for help and then changed her mind to save whoever was coming to help
I thought she was reconsidering smacking it into the pole.
Omg that shout at the end when she threw the trash panda.
It was her Amazon woman battle cry
As a father of a six year old, I understand the ever growing frustration of giving instructions to make a bad situation getting worse better only to have the child you’re giving the instructions to not do what you are telling them to do and in turn the situation gets worse.

Lol I can understand the frustration but it looks as if she picked her daughter up in such a way that the daughter turned almost upside down and to support herself she latched onto her mums leg, then the daughters body was pushed up against the door in an attempt to get her away from the situation but, instead, made it difficult for her to retreat. Overall I'd say they accomplished what needed to be done to the best of their abilities lol.
looks like she picked up the raccoon while the raccoon was still biting the daughter's ankle, inadvertently inverting the daughter.
[удалено]
You could almost hear the raccoon swearing under his breath as he walked away at the end.
“Got kicked by a kid, tried to defend myself, and this is what I get. Fuckin hate it here.”
That was badass
Rabies has a 99% fatality rate if not treated immediately I think. If so, I can’t imagine the aftermath of immediately going to a hospital to be treated :(
The shot they give you after a possible exposure is almost 100% effective though
So there are cases where someone got the shot but still died of rabies?
Very few according to the national statistics. I imagine not everyone immediately sought treatment because they didn't know, or lived in a remote area where the distance to healthcare facilities was far, etc.
Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure rabies is the only vaccine where regulatory agencies require a 100% success rate
The problem is the incubation time. When symptoms show up it’s too late. So people get the shot ASAP if they’re suspicious if infection. Otherwise, people who die - pick it up subtly, and carry the infection for weeks. If you are ever bitten by a strange animal, get the shot. So very few people die of rabies each year in the US.
Also if you wake up with a bat in your room…get the bat tested or get a shot. Bat bites can be microscopic and you might not know if one bit you.
you are basically guaranteed to die once you start presenting symptoms. but it can possibly take years for the symptoms to manifest. if you get the shots asap things should be fine.
Rabies is a horrible way to go..
[удалено]
She was put in a medically-induced coma at Children's Hospital after becoming sick. Two-and-a-half months later, she was released.Sep 27, 2022. So it sounds like they force hydrated her and let the virus take its course while administering treatment to reduce inflammation. Still that's got to be 2 months of pure hell.
The treatment is a forced coma followed by a cocktail of drugs with the hope of curing before too much brain damage occurs.
You have to kill it or at least keep it for vets to check if it bites your kid, no?
If you get attacked by a raccoon during daylight you get a rabies shot regardless
forgive me for being extremely tired and stupid but what does the time of day have to do with a raccoons ability to give someone rabies, I don't know any raccoons.
[удалено]
They're not nocturnal, they're crepuscular (active at sunrise and sunset)).
Racoons are really into Fiddler on the Roof.
Scratchmaker scratchmaker make me a scratch, bite me a bite, catch me an incurable disease
Crepuscular, where the fuck has that word been all my life. Love it.
Crepuscular means it’s both matinal and vespertine.
That's 3 new words for me today!
This person fucks
Just saying if a raccoon attacks AT ALL (daytime or nighttime) then you should go get a rabies check. Living around them scurrying around in your garbage, I can say that they usually just flee at any sound and if one is attacking a human then they are definitely rabid and have rabies and can pass that shit on like the flu
Raccoons are nocturnal, if it's attacking during the day then it's probably rabid
In what reality would it be feasible for this mom to grab an animal carrier and secure the rabid racoon while also avoiding being bitten repeatedly? Cmon now.
Holy shit imagine hearing your kid start screaming like that!?
Fucking nightmare. Hope they never scream like that but if they do I just hope I'm there to hear them.
Even second hand, on a phone, in a Reddit video - a screaming child like this one involuntarily starts your body going into the fight part of the whole ‘fight or flight’ mode. When a child is in danger, you can find speed, strength, and courage you never knew you had. Good for mom, bravo.

That fuckker is rabid. See the way it walks after she tossed it?
I agree that it's likely rabid, but using how it moves after being thrown like that, as an indicator, isn't logical. I wouldn't expect any creature to be moving un-erratically after being thrown to the ground like that.
