Attacked by bat

2023-11-19 19:26:33
Hi, Last night a bat entered our house. It tried to attack and touched my head, it took me a while to shoo it away from my hair as it got a bit tangled there. I am not sure if it bitten or there are any scratches caused by it. There is no visible wound or scratch or blood as such. What should be the further course of action ? Should I take PEP for the same ? Please guide. Thank you.

If u can not see any sort of wound I don't think there is an issue just washing the area with soap and water is sufficient. Take care
