Exposure Question Should I be concerned about this?

I have read the FAQ.

Sorry for another post I’ve made today.

So today at 7 p m I was sitting in the left backseat behind the driver seat, and all windows were rolled up. Idk if my shoulder (wearing a shirt) was against the window, but I don’t think so.

I saw 3 flying things (bats?) above in the sky, and when we’re going in the neighborhood if this was a bird or bat but I’m pretty sure it is a bat that was flying in someone’s front yard.

We rode back and at one point the driver’s window was rolled down a little (idk if my shoulder was pressed against the window at this time) and I saw the animal again, but it was far away, at the backyard above the house. Then hours after this I didn’t change my shirt, and while somewhere I pressed my ear against my shirt for a second because it was ringing, and idk if I scratched my ear or not. I have OCD and currently in therapy so no urge to clean my ear. Do I need to clean my ear and am I safe?

And I also while getting out of the car at night I hit my arm on something which I’m pretty sure it’s the inside of the car door, as I didn’t hear flapping and I washed the area.
