A member asked:
Can a bat bite you without you feeling it or noticing it? can running and listening to loud music distract you from the bite? i live in an area that rarely sees bats and in a very low-risk country?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A sleeping person may not notice being bitten by a bat. If you there is any possibility of a bat bite, you should get rabies vaccine.
