What should i do if i find a mark that sort of resembles a bat bite on my hand?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If bats are around in your location and you are not sure if you have a bat bite or not then you should go to an urgent care or ER. Rabies vaccine is necessary if bat bite is strongly suspected by examining the wound with possible exposure. Good luck.
