should i go to the er for this (bat bite?)
did not see any bat, just woke up with this and it looks like a bat bite
Edit: to clarify, I HAVE NOT SEEN A BAT, i have no reason to suspect its a bat other than a window being slightly open without a screen and the mark itself looking like photos online. i live in a city. i thought people would tell me im being silly to worry here. are we all supposed to go to the ER if we wake up with two dots on our skin? i am wondering what level of precaution is reasonable here when odds are ... tiny?
update: so i'm at the ER getting a vaccine for dots and every doctor is laughing in my face lowkey and rolling their eyes and im spending thousands at the ER which is the only place that treats this (i am in the US) but everyone will be happy to learn im getting the shots so i 100% wont die of rabies. american healthcare is truly a humiliation ritual, including for my wallet, and im spending money i definitely dont have when im already in student debt. (plug for universal healthcare like every other developed country has where i wouldnt have even had to juggle this decision)
also this was not a "karma farming post." i dont know why anyone makes those. i honestly to god have just a bit of health anxiety, posted this not expecting much, and got a response that gave me nightmares so here we are, and thank you everyone who gave their input, better safe than sorry. really wish none of this had happened while i'm in the midst of exams for my degree, really bad timing
also deeply sorry to ALL hypochondriacs like myself who see this post in the future. remember the odds are higher that i got struck by a car on the way walking to the hospital, by a lot.
