Heard a small squeaky/chirpy sound last afternoon, I don't know the source. I woke up with a tiny red bump on my leg which is irritated, just barely painful. I haven't seen a bat, but I'm concerned I could have been bitten by one and need Rabies PEP?
Accidentally slept in a room with open windows during the day(without the screen). Can a rabid bat bite me and fly away without knowing? Cant see a bat but scared of rabies. Currently pregnant, should i get Rabies PEP shot as a precaution?
I had all my rabies shots 8 years ago and recently was exposed to another bat I finished my 2 doses of PEP & was possibly bitten again am I protected?
I'm between 4th and 5th rabies vaccination in shot series. Given HRIG 22 days ago for PEP for potential bat bite. I was walking few nights ago and bat flew into my head. Am I protected from this 2nd exposure or do I need to start vaccination over?
I awoke to bats flying in my room 3 years ago, it happened multiple times. no clue if i was bit or not. Never received PEP. Should I pursue that now?
