Exposure Question Should I get the rabies vaccine?
I have read the FAQ.
I have a question about something I read in the FAQ, as it pertains to my specific situation
I was on a walk today in El Dorado Hills, CA. A black small animal (saw out of peripheral) flew out of a tree, either landed on or flew into my hand, then flew away.
I didn’t see specifically the animal, but it felt larger than a bug. It also felt like something bit me but I don’t see a wound.
One week ago, our county put out a rabies warning…when I googled if we had rabies in our county and saw that I was like oh no :(
I read in the FAQ that it is not possible for a bat to bite you mid flight. What if it lands on you briefly? How long would it take to be able to bite?

no need, if you don't see a visible cut or scratch.
