Bat hit my head while driving
Yesterday night while i was driving my 2 wheeler (a bit fast) in a partially dark street, a bat that was flying right opposite to me hit me on my forehead and flew away. I felt a mild pain for a few seconds but after that the pain is not there but i am worried if i may have been bitten or scratched. There is no visible blood or bite/scratch marks, but I read that bat bites or scratches are very difficult to identify as bats have small teeth. At times, i feel a slight tingling sensation in my forehead area where the bat hit, but not sure if it's due to anxiety. I am confused whether i need to take rabies vaccines/immunoglobulin and TT, or if its not required since bats in India are generally not known to be carrying rabies. Please suggest
