Bat found in closed flat
We found out a dead bat on June 1 in our flat in Bangalore. We were out of station from may 4 and came back on June 1 only. I think the bat came inside the room through the clothing stand with cloth that i bought inside on May 4 morning before leaving. I didn't remember any bat bite or scratch on that day. After came back only I found this dead bat carcass in kitchen sink and some excretion under clothing stand. I also took some cloth from clothing stand. Should I get any bat bite and scratch without notice?

Finding a bat in your living space is a serious concern even without a visible bite or scratch â bat bites can be extremely small and completely unnoticeable. Since you handled clothing that was near the bat and cannot fully rule out any contact, this situation requires an urgent medical evaluation. Rabies is 100% preventable if treated before symptoms appear, but is nearly always fatal once symptoms develop â so please do not delay.
Next Steps
Please visit a doctor or hospital urgently today to assess whether Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (anti-rabies vaccination) is needed. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.
