What happens if you touch a bat?

People cannot get rabies from having contact with bat guano (feces), blood or urine or from touching a bat on its fur (even though bats should never be handled).

However, if you are bitten by a bat or if saliva from a bat gets into your eyes, nose or mouth, seek medical attention immediately.
