Hello. is it possible to get infected by a bat while i was sleeping. can't see any visible bites. what should i do?

Contact local health: Doctors have clear indications for why or when the series of rabies shots are given. These are generated by local rabies monitoring & CDC guidelines. It is not something you get by being in the presence of a bat. If anything docs usually over treat this issue if there is any good indication.I would contact a local health department for the guidelines in your region.
