bat bite
Nocturnal flyer's nip
A bat bite is a wound inflicted by a bat's teeth, significant because bats are primary carriers of rabies.
Unlike dog bites, bat bites may go unnoticed—the teeth are small enough that a sleeping person might not wake.
Medical guidelines recommend rabies treatment for anyone who wakes to find a bat in their room, even without visible marks: She didn't feel the bat bite but started post-exposure prophylaxis anyway.
