What Are The Symptoms Of A Bat Bite?

Last week I awoke to a bat in my bedroom. I am not sure if I was bit - the bat got out so I don t know if it was infected. What should I do? I haven t noticed anything unusual but didn t look for anything after the bat got out. Since it s been a week and I haven t noticed any bite marks(?) should I NOT be concerned? Thank you, Michelle
