Are you sure it was a bat? Thats very odd for a bat to land on someone. They may swoop down at you but never heard of them landing like that. I would definitely not wait and get to an ER. Another poster was correct. The skin puncture could be very tiny and not visible to you. Plus, where was this thing flying around? Did you only see one or was there a nest of them?
