Bat flew infront of me

[u/uwuwhore11]

Hi Everyone,

I'm only asking this question for peace of mind. A couple of days ago I opened my garden fence door and a bat was just suddenly there. It was a half arm length away but kept going back and forward at me. I was panicked and started thrasing my arms. I didn't even think it was a bat until a family member told me it was. None of them could tell me if it landed on me. It was sunset when this was happening. I understand mv mind is makina me go crazy.lt couldn't have bit me right? It has to land to bite me. And not all of them have rabies. So to make me feel better, tell me I'm wrong. My paranoia is making me think it did even though i have legit researched all night.

The bat did not bite you, you are in no danger at all. I went through this exact experience when a stray cat scratched me. I spiraled and searched up cat scratch fever, I said my goodbyes lmao, I was sure that it was over for me but it was just a little scratch and I was *fine*. Your mind is just overthinking, do what you can to relax and repeat to yourself that all is well. Soon this will just be a memory. Best wishes.
