On the nipple, by a monkey. In the Dominican Republic, a monkey climbed in his shirt, bit said nipple, then bailed.

Do they carry rabies?

What the heck did I just read?

He needs rabies shots. Don't wait.

It did not break skin. Just a little nip on the nip.

I would rather be bit by almost anything else than a monkey. There's a good chance they will catch something nasty from that bite, if the skin was damaged at all. Monkeys are close enough to us genetically, that most diseases they get can be spread to us. Many monkeys have several strains of hepatitis.

My friend and business partner, for our new nursery business, worked at the New Iberia Primate Research Center in Louisiana and another friend worked at one of the National Primate Centers. They both were vaccinated for everything imaginable. They both had to follow very strict protocols. People get infected and hurt by the monkeys, even with all the precautions.

Monkeys are nasty. I wouldn't want to be near one.

I agree, monkeys are nasty. This was a few weeks ago, and he is fine. The monkeys were raised in captiviy, and may have had shots, but I never asked!

Monkeys are imo one of the most distgusting animals; just above bats.
I had a monkey rush me once in Cambodia, I instictively cocked my foot back in order to kick him through the goal posts. It immediately stopped and recoiled backwards, it was p'od.
Hate those vermin.
