Adult movie star Robin Byrd has been forced to reassure fans when she was rushed to hospital following a nasty racoon bite.

The 58-year-old got a bit too close to a racoon after it hid behind a plant pot at her home in upstate New York.

Robin thought she could hear a cat, but was caught off-guard when she stumbled across the wild animal.

She was taken straight to hospital where she was vaccinated against rabies and treated for the bite.

The cult porn star told The Sun: “It may not be in the planter, but it’s somewhere out there. Very traumatic. I’m very afraid.

“I’m still taking an antibiotic that’s burning the s*** out of my belly and my chest.

“I’m bearing with it because in the long run I now have my rabies shots and I refuse to believe that I’m going to let a raccoon take me down.”

Robin shared a snap of her bandaged arm on Twitter, writing: "Bandaged and on my way to the doctor bit by a raccoon."

Yikes!
