    But to be clear, the majority of bats don’t carry rabies, it’s like 1 out of 200. Still you can get rabies if the saliva of a bat gets on your hands at all. And often, people get bitten don’t even realize it because bats teeth are very small. So, best practice is not to touch a living bat and not to handle dead bats without gloves, just to be safe.
