day 8 "NEWS"

so this is kind of hard core."A Maine woman says a rabid raccoon attacked her while she was out for a run, so she drowned it in a puddle." but I guess that's what most people would have done I mean like that's kind a smart thinking like it has rabies you don't want to get bit in the torso area, you shouldn't get bit in any area."Rachel Borch, of Hope, says she was running in woods near her home June 2 when she saw the raccoon charging with its teeth bared. She says she knew the animal was going to bite her, so she held out her hands so it would bite her there." I guess that would be that best spot to get bitten by a rabid animal."The 21-year-old says she then noticed a puddle in a nearby swampy area. She ran over with the rabid animal still biting down on her thumb and held its head underwater until it drowned." That's when the story gets crazy, like this is probably someone's mom but any way hope she's all right.
