Proper cleaning of the wound reduces the risk of infection. If bitten or scratched, immediately wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water for at least five minutes. If available, an antiseptic with anti-virus action such as povidone-iodine or alcohol (ethanol) should be applied after washing. If bat saliva contacts the eyes, nose or mouth, flush the area thoroughly with water for several minutes.
