Bats and rabies

2023-06-14 18:34:04
I love going to places with water. There is a lake in my city and I go there very often. There is an island in between the lake and bats from there come the banks' trees in late evening. Will I get rabies if there are too many bats flying above my head. I dont get bitten or scratched. They fly at a considerable height. Please answer

No you won't, for getting rabies the saliva of the rabid animal must contact your body and should enter your skin. If the rabid animal's saliva falls on an abrasion of your skin then there's a minor chance you may get rabies however in 99% of the case a grade 3 bite is necessary. To answer you no you can't get rabies with bats flying over your head. If you still have doubts you may consult, I'd be happy to guide you with pre rabies prophylaxis along with post exposure one
