I’m worried I have a bat bite on my hand, I have two small marks about 1 cm apart. I haven’t been in contact with a bat but I’m worried about at night. My fingers have a slight tingling sensation and my arm feels cold but isn’t. Am I ok?

Hello,why do you think it's a bat? Bats live in specific environments like rainforest jungle canopy and fruit trees ,are there bats around you?I have seen tiny bats the size of my hand but they never bit me ever,you can go to the doctor and get the bite looked at,but it could be anything really for example,a spider,an insect like a mosquito,a flea,a cat mouse a lizard a snake,or a rash from something or an ant or glass or a branch,I know that bats can have potentially dangerous disease which is why you may be scared but if there's no bats around you it may be something else I would say I think you are just scaring yourself,ticks are another possibility,some creatures bite you twice,and fall off I have been bitten by a huntsman spider,ants,bees,a huge python left a tiny bite mark,a rat can bite you, perhaps disinfect the bite and take a photo of it,but I feel that you are just scared which is understandable but I think it's probably nothing to worry about check out your bedding you may find an ant or a mozzie perhaps more likely fleas are awful too they come from dogs and cats and are really itchy,I think you would generally know if it's really bad because you would feel worse and you would see red veins perhaps, just give yourself a relaxing bath ,clean the bite and go to the doctor tomorrow if you are still worried about it
