Potrebbe sembrare stupido. Ma questo pipistrello è entrato in casa nostra di notte, lo avevamo perso per un po’ e poi lo abbiamo ritrovato morto nella nostra vasca da bagno, c’è possibilità che abbia rabbia o che sia stato morso senza rendersene conto?

Totally read this title as rat babies and got abit confused.
Was the bat anywhere near you/touch anyone??
I cant help but if reddit had taught me anything, its to not fuck around with bats or potential bites…
It is pretty rare in Europe and even rarer in Cyprus because rabies has been officially eradicated on the island. But I am also not going to be person who’s gonna tell everything is alright. Even though the rabies bat issue is mostly an American problem, Reddit does make a fuss about it, and in the slim chance they’re right, you die. So, maybe ask a professional.
Hello patient Zero!
No, rabies has been eradicated in Cyprus. Also, these are not blood sucking bats, wich also do not exist in Cyprus. They eat insects. And if it bit you, you would difinitely notice. Don’t ask how I know.
In the US, the recommendation is to get a rabies shot if the bat has been in your house at all. Bat bites are often invisible. I would call your doctor. If in doubt, get the shot. You won’t lose anything.
It’s very unlikely it bit you OR had rabies.
But very unlikely is not 100%. You don’t want rabies. Just get a shot and be safe.
