Non-bite incident: Did the saliva touch an open would or a mucous membrane?
Bats: Any contact with a bat that leads to a potential scratch, bite, or mucous membrane exposure to saliva needs to be evaluated. If prolonged exposure to a bat is discovered (sleeping in a room where a bat is found), post exposure prophylaxis needs to be considered.
When bitten, wash bite site with soap and water and visit the hospital to start post exposure treatment.
