When you’re on a weekend away in the wilderness with pals, please avoid the campfire guitar strumming unless you want to risk rabies. <br /> <br />While scientists have yet to test the validity of this assertion, we would advise you to stay safe and stick to a harmonica or fiddle. <br /> <br />The unlucky victim, one Derrick Skou from Oregon, endured one bite before a friend shot the bat with a BB gun. <br /> <br />Skou took the bat to Multnomah county health officials who confirmed the nocturnal creature as being rabid. <br /> <br />Maybe this particular bat had a really annoying ex-girlfriend who used to play too much John Mayer?
