Fuck rabies, man. Fortunately, a bat won’t transmit via scratch. But even The smallest bite or transfer of saliva on an open wound can transmit it. If you encounter a bat and are 100% sure it didn’t bite you, it’s fine. But if you’re only 99% sure, you’re in for a world of hurt with the rabies series. That’s why people who wake up with a bat in their room have to go through the series.
