Based on your description, this does not appear to be a rabies exposure. Rabies is transmitted through a bite, scratch, or direct contact of saliva/neural tissue with broken skin or mucous membranes.
Simply being near bats and feeling a tiny droplet carried by the wind is not considered a rabies exposure. Washing your lips promptly was appropriate.
At present, PEP is generally not indicated based on this history.
If you had any direct contact with a bat, bite, scratch, or saliva exposure, please consult me immediately so that we can have a detailed treatment plan ."
