My nephew died from rabies from a bat bite (in the SF East Bay) many years ago. When he was bitten he was inebriated (picked up a wiggling bag and the bat inside bit him), and the next morning he never saw any bite wound (because their teeth are so slender they don't necessarily leave a mark) -- so he wrote the whole thing off. I'm haunted by his death. The painful lesson is that if one even thinks there was a possibility of a bat bite then one should seek treatment.
