Hi,

I think I'm being extremely paranoid here. I was catching my breath after a run yesterday evening and there was some shrub outside someone's house where I had stopped. My hand was on the shrub and I felt my thumb get pricked/scratched. I thought it might be a bat (I live in Bay Area which has bats) or a small animal hiding in the bushes who bit me so I shook the shrub but nothing came out. This morning, I noticed a red pigment the size of a small pinprick on my thumb. Wondering what to do. My insurance gets renewed later this week so I'm currently not on insurance so I don't want to pay a shit ton over here in the US for rabies shots just because I'm not insured right now. I feel I should be safe and shouldn't require any vaccine but not sure what to do. Help. Thanks
