Rabies due to handling a bat(animal)
A bat wandered into my home late in the evening and we handle it with some thin plastic pipe. The pipe was in contact with the bat for a very short time. I was then accidently injured (Just a few scratches with bleeding) by the same plastic pipe a few minutes later. Am I at a risk of catching Rabies from such indirect contact?
What are next steps?
