A list of symptoms to watch out for in bats and other mammals:
-lack of coordination, especially in rear limbs
-in a location they shouldn't be at a time you don't normally see them
-unusual aggression
-throat paralysis
-paranoia, hallucinations and hydrophobia
-excessive drooling or foaming at mouth
-cribbing (chewing on bars and other inanimate, fixed objects)
-seizures
-and the most telltale sign: attempting to steal your device password

@the roki samurai9 A bat bite may not leave any obvious marks at all.

@@ratskky3295 No. Bats have teeth designed for grabbing and holding, not for injecting venom. Even the one type of bat that can be labeled technically venomous doesn't inject venom through hollow fangs.
