    Also unless you know for certain they haven’t touched you, get rabies shots. Actually just get rabies shots anyway.

      Yes, make sure they don’t get on you.

      If the bat isn’t afraid of people call animal control because it is sick with rabies or something and shut it in the room it’s in. Usually they are very timid and will try to get away from you though.

      I should’ve added that rabies is very rare in bats where I am so that’s probably why I was given the advice I was.
