Rabies Info / Health Department Info
While unlikely, it is possible that a person may be exposed to rabies from a bat and not realize it. Bats have small, sharp teeth and a person who is unaware or unable to tell someone else about their exposure (for example, a small child or a sleeping person) may not recognize a puncture wound or notice pain from a minor bite. Therefore, it is possible for someone to be bitten by a bat without knowing it as described in the following scenarios. These scenarios are examples of situations where an exposure could have occurred and should be discussed with a doctor or your local health department some examples of when you should be nervous about rabies without contact is.
- contact between a bat and a person's bare skin
- bat found in a room with a sleeping person
- bat found in a room with an unattended child
- bat found close to an unattended young child outdoors
