Reply to comment by psychRNkris in I found a bat in my pool. He’s very much alive. I set him in the sun to dry out away from my dog by Handicapreader

There is a huge difference between a trained professional handling a dead animal and some Joe air-drying a found critter.

Gloves. Who on earth would handle a wet wild animal without gloves? And look at the picture. That bat bit no one. And the trained medical professional in my description was absolutely exposed to rabies and got shots.

Yes, the professional vet always keeps up to date on his shots. Because they know they can't always be perfect. Normal civilians do not get the rabies vaccine as a matter of course. OP should check and potentially get the shot.
