You would have to have been asleep if it is a bat bite as you'd have some sensation of being bitten if you were awake. A rabid bat is the bat bite we worry about & this is the dilemma. There's no way to be sure without the bat being studied for rabies. If you're seeking medical attention go to the ER rather than a physician's office. ER MDs face this dilemma way more than nonER physicians
