Personally I would just toss the broom and shovel----rabies is lethal and bats can definitely be carriers. Anecdotally my former boss and her husband are doctors and had a similar event----they went to get an expensive shot series in a similar incident. They however had been asleep with the bat in the house and could not verify that there was not a bite incident. I don't think they'll test the bat so much as give you the shot just in case----its not worth the risk of dying.
