But you said they look more like scratches?
Logically, if it was a bat bite - surely the holes would be a similar size?
I'm also wondering if the bat would stay where it was having been stepped on? Wouldn't a cranky bat might make itself known to you?
I wouldn't worry too much about the epidemiologist. You sent photographs and if he was to give you a definite no, and it was a bat bite, you could sue him innit. He's sat on the fence for sure!
