Anxiety: While it appears that bats love to eat grapes, that I did not know, how did you determine that specific grape was bitten by a bat? Regardless, that is not the way rabies is transmitted.

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?

Asked similar question but, some bats flew overhead while I was on a night walk a few days ago. I know none of them got close, but Im super paranoid I somehow was bitten by one & didnt realize it. Is it worth getting a rabies shot?
Is having a bat fly in close proximity to you a reason to get the rabies vaccine? I am paranoid since rabies is so deadly and i heard bites can sometimes go unnoticed
Afraid of rabies, previously vaccinated. Walking outside on bright, sunny day (no rain). Single drop of liquid fell from tree and lands directly in eye/tear-duct. Couldn't identify source of liquid. Possible bat saliva exposure or being paranoid?
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?
I woke up with 2 bite marks on face just below left eye, did'nt see any bat in my room/home or near by anywhere. How to know am out of threat from bat bite rabies ? Which insects leave 2 bite marks ? How to confirm am out of any serious danger ?
