How likely is a singular pinpoint mark on my hand to be a bat bite?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
First of all is there a bat around? If so, bat bites may not be noticed, especially if someone is asleep, and bat bites may leave little or no evidence of a wound or puncture. Therefore, if there is any chance that there was physical contact with a bat, the bat should be tested for rabies.

I flipped a bat over with my index finger to see whether it was alive or not and after poking it with my finger it flew off. Some friends are telling me I can get rabies from this and I was wondering if that was actually true or not as it didnt bite.
