      I'm not the only one to get bit by a monkey!!! I'm in SE Florida and was pet sitting a friends house...sitting by the pool with a nice glass of wine when 3 spider monkeys attacked me for NO REASON!!! Those monkeys were on the small side compared to the Macaque's but they can bite...I got bit in the right shoulder, the only positive was that I had an animal hospital and every few years I got vaccinated for pre-exposure...I lucked out that I had gotten vaccinated just under a year from the bites so I only had to get 3 of the vaccines and holy sh*t did they hurt, was put on 2 weeks antibiotics and I got a tetanus shot which hurts but nothing like those rabies ugh....I hope you're on the mend Riley...it's okay to have PTSD, I still have it from a horrific car accident 6/23/08...but those monkeys that got you were frightening!!! Sending you healing light x

      What's even worse- those folks have audacity to take a tiktok video etc!!!
      How inhumane, my God!
      I pray for your safety, guys and for Riley not to have serious side effects after all those injections.

      People are upset because this has become the current culture. More emphasis and priority is on social media likes instead of human life. There were freaking toddlers in danger of being harmed or killed and none of the 20 something people witnessing it did a darn thing,..including the cameraman. They could have yelled or thrown rocks or clumps of sand to distract the monkeys but instead they passively stood by and did nothing because thier loved ones weren't the ones in danger...Had they been attacked I bet they would have yelled for help and I'm sure Riley would have done what he could to help the strangers....It's all about character or in this case,..the lack thereof,..

      Rabies fortunately has a good effective though painful treatment regimen as Riley found out the hard way however the Macacine Herpesvirus 1 really doesn't aside from valacyclovir or acyclovir if risk is assessed with no detectible virus present or intravenous acyclovir or ganciclovir if it has been detected however once it blossoms in the nervous system most die despite treatment so this has been the one concerning me the past few weeks since it undetectably can lodge itself into the spinal cord and stay dormant for years. CDC advises you even after successful treatment to carry a medial alert listing the potential exposure to Macacine Herpesvirus 1 and to be sure to tell your medical practitioners about your potential exposure. Thankfully none of the little ones were scratched or bitten as they would be potentially carrying the Macacine Herpesvirus 1 around for a much longer time than Riley plus having it flair up in their developing years could be much more severe. COVID has taught us how devastating Zoonotic diseases/infections can be.
      Best protection against this per CDC is "Visitors to parks and other tourist destinations (such as certain religious temples) with free-roaming macaques should avoid contact with these animals (including feeding or petting them)."
      Where I live we have water born flesh eating bacteria, brain eating amoeba, MRSA infections from things as simple as an insect bite, etc, etc all of which have taken way too many young, vibrant, healthy associates from us over the past few years so I've learned from these losses to be much more careful then I have been in the past.
      Be careful out there especially in warm humid tropical environments.
      Best!

    Glad you are all okay!! I’m a wildlife biologist and I understand the importance of your items but human wildlife interactions don’t always end well. Even though it’s a tourist area where people try to attract the animals they are wild animals and should be given space. It’s different in this situation but lack of caution and preventive measures around wild animals causes many individuals of other species to be euthanized. It’s so important to be cautious around wildlife especially if they’re territorial species and you’re in their territory.

    I had the same-ish experience in penang, Malaysia. We hiked through a path in the jungle that was fairly popular but not crowded. On the way to the beach on the hike we encountered the monkeys. They were very friendly and acted relaxed. So we had great fun. When chilling at the beach we already heard them scream. But we had to get back as the sun started setting. On the way back their vibe drastically changed. They were sitting on the bridges and stairs so we had to pass them very closely. They leashed out, screamed and tried to bite us. We tried to walk as fast as we could to not try to aggravate them more by running. It was terrifying. Also hearing them run with us in the trees next to us. When things calmed down we encountered another group heading to the monkeys. They wore slippers and bathing suits (bit of an odd choice for a hike in the jungle) and warned them for the monkeys. But they shrugged it off and kept going. We later heard them scream. We sent park personnel to their direction. Not sure how that ended for them. But it was a truely terrifying experience.
