###Human: How can I distinguish that I was bitten by a bat or not? ###Assistant: Hello. If a bat bite there will be bite marks, usually superficial. 1)Early symptoms are fever, headache, and general malaise. 2) If the disease progresses, there will be neurological symptoms such as insomnia, anxiety, confusion, agitation, difficulty in swallowing, hallucinations, excessive salivation, paralysis, hydrophobia (fear of water), or agitated behavior. If you still have doubt better go for vaccination ARV (anti-rabies vaccine).
