Same. We were definitely told to stay away from raccoons and bats, especially during the day (both are normally nocturnal or close to it).
The only people I know who've required rabies treatment had encounters with bats. Usually a bat got into their home through an open window, but wasn't noticed for some time. From what I was told, small bat bites aren't particularly painful or large and can look like bug bites, so any bat in the house usually ends up with a rabies treatment for residents.

SO there's nothing like the pants shitting terror of an aggressive raccoon, and then worrying that you might need rabies shots as well just to find out that it was just distemper.
