Re: Rabies through indirect object/scratches?
No, you cannot. You would have to be bitten, and if a bat had bitten you, you would absolutely know it. They also aren't usually aggressive, so the bat that was flying at them was most likely just chasing bugs and not after them to bite anyway.
I know rabies is scary, but it's exceedingly rare (even in the US) and you cannot get it in the way you describe.
