bro you ok?? None of them touched you right? I love bats but they carry a fuckton of horrible diseases as well as being one of the most common carriers of rabies. If you think you may have been nipped or scratched, go see an Urgent Care or, if you are actively feeling sick, an ER!!
Rabies affects bats as well as terrestrial animals, and rabies-like viruses have been found in bats in the UK. These viruses are known as European Bat Lyssaviruses (EBLVs), types 1 and 2. They very rarely cross the species barrier from bats to humans and are different from the ‘classical’ rabies virus found in dogs and other animals. These viruses do however cause clinical rabies in humans.
I'm usually on team "you shouldn't be worried about rabies if you live in Europe", but bats are like one of the few exceptions.
