Many years ago I too got bit by a sqirrel,the sqirrel family had taken up residence in a tree opposite my bedroom window,one of the branches came very close,so I was able to reach out and offer the said family nuts,after a while they started taking them which was great,untill the bite.
I'm still here 25 years later,the only thing the bite left me with,is an urge to go to bed in October and get up in March
