If anyone does get bit or scratched by a bat (or other wild animal acting strangely), don't wait to visit a doctor. Once rabies symptoms appear, it is too late. I personally take out any wildlife acting odd and do not handle the carcass. An unafraid coyote last summer was the most recent incident. Fortunately my dogs did not see it first, and I was able to confine them while dispatching the animal.
