    Bitten by bat fear - rabies??

    I was just out on a walk with my family at dusk when it was almost dark. I felt something smack me in the back of my head. I do not know if it was something living, a branch, etc. I was wearing a wool hat. I yelped loudly. My family members looked at me immediately when I yelled and saw nothing fly away. I have a well-known bat phobia. I am terrified it was a bat and that it could have bitten/scratched me so I’ll get rabies and die. Should I go to hospital for a rabies vaccine? I do NOT want it unless needed as it’s a serious vax. Please give me honest opinions - am I worrying for nothing?

    You're worrying for nothing, promise. Even if it was a bat (highly unlikely) they have tiny fangs that couldn't penetrate your hair, never mind a woolly hat.
