Often bat bites and scratches are not even noticeable because they are small. However, depending on the species of bat, bat bites can look like two small puncture wounds, not really like pimples, and the puncture wounds are usually about half an inch, or one centimeter, apart. Symptoms include slight numbness or pain, open clean looking cuts or bleeding puncture wounds, bruising and other irritations. Because of their speedy occurrence bat bites can be easily mistaken for a spider bite, bee sting or thorn puncture. Since some bats carry rabies, if you think you have been bitten by a bat, you should check with your doctor. Check here.
