Dear Peter,

There should be no health threats unless you are bitten or scratched and blood is drawn.

Faeces is no more harmful than that of your dog or cat.

If there is an injured bat or one on the ground call RSPCA. and do not touch it as they can only be handled by a vaccinated wildlife carer.

regards,
Marg
