I'd rather be around rats than flys. I spent many hours over a 2 year period using old WWII German ammo bunker tunnels for overnight shelter when stationed in Sardinia.
Saw many rats close up, never felt threatened by them as they were just foraging for field ration discards. Tried to carry away all the remnants after meals so as not to attract them. Also had to wash your hands and face before sleeping because they would actively seek out the smell and taste. Started wearing gloves and mosquito head nets. Never saw anyone bitten, not to say it couldn't happen. Watched a documentary about Rat Wranglers for the movies some time ago. They said rats were very sociable and trainable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqzkJpoxT30&t=1s |
