Hello I'm new and please forgive me for the sudden question.I got this one centimeter cut on my face and I'm thinking it was a scratch from a bat I'm very scared :(, my family isn't helping because they think this is nothing but I'm worried because there are deaths about bat rabies in the world and the one with the bat scratch of an 8 year old boy made me scared, I asked my mom if the window was closed that time she said "yes, I only open them when the sun is up." and I told her this cut and she said that it was nothing, I'm so scared I want to know what time do bats sleep when it's almost morning I know what time they go out it's about 5:40 but I have a one centimeter cut I sleep at a folding bed but some of the cloth or something is like gone at the sides so the metal is shown due to me sleeping on it and it can't handle me and I'm not fat I'm very thin like 115 pounds only, anyways the both top left and right of that picture my folding bed has two sides that is already torn due to me sleeping on it and the bottom left is already really torn I fell that time. could I have gotten in from the metal? or I could have been scratched the one centimeter cut is close to my right eye and eyelid, please I need help my family is not really helping, they believe that I can overcome this fear or outgrow this fear but I'm not responding I made myself believe that I have many diseases, cancer, etc... but I'm taking a long time with this rabies scare especially the bats. I live in the Philippines and the internet said that the philippines has no deaths with bat rabies but I'm still scared because of this cut I also have many more things that made me think I was bitten or scratched by a bat. but I overcame those but this one I'm really afraid of it the other ones that I think I was scratched or bitten is the same thing of my afraid feeling now but I couldn't take it anymore I'm asking you guys what you think.

I understand how you are scared, but hopefully your parents are sure that you are fine and that this scratch is nothing. I think you could've easily gotten this scratch from the metal, cause you said you fell out of bed, right?
And how long ago was this scratch? I think it takes two weeks or something before you show signs of rabies, and if push comes to shove, you could go to the doctor and maybe confirm for sure?
It's really not recommended to google these sorts of things, but try to take advantage of the fact that the internet said no deaths with bat rabies in the Philippines.

Hold on to the good news. I'm sure you are fine ! ...... :)

:), but about that I fell on the folding bed was a 4 months ago I forget to put it there but the bed is a little bit sideways because of that and I move a lot when I sleep and they will not let me go to the doctors and I got the cut two days ago so yeah, I'm still a little bit scared though, maybe I scratched my face that time but my nails are trimmed when that happened can you scratch yourself and give yourself a wound even though it's trimmed?

You seem very anxious so the small cut is resulting in a great deal of more anxiety. I bet it's fine but I would see a doc therapist about your high anxiety. Alankay

You say that you move a lot in your sleep. Certainly moving a lot in your sleep could cause you to get a scratch or even a cut. Do you have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep? Do you have access to calcium supplements or milk? I would recommend you try to take a calcium supplement or drink warmed milk before you go to bed. Calcium has relaxing effects. Also, sometimes anxiety can be due to a low calcium level in your blood stream. So trying this can't hurt anything and it might help.
