    I assume we would be ok if it didn’t bite us?

    Edit: no get tested. Apparently they attack when humans are sleeping and can leave no trace.

      Yeah, state of the art may have changed since then, but since you can’t see the bite and a test on a human wouldn’t show anything until it’s too late, the options were either have a lab test the bat or get precautionary rabies shots.
