Possible bat/rabies exposure
A few days ago I was outside at dusk. There were a few bats flying overhead which is not unusual. A drop of liquid fell on my head which I assume came from a bat as there were no trees overhead. I immediately reached up and touched it. I then went inside to eat dinner, touching my food and putting my hands near my mouth. I may have rubbed my eyes at some point. I sometimes have scalp acne but I'm not sure if I did then. Could I get rabies from this? Do I need shots or am I being paranoid? Thanks
