bats don't carry rabies.

Was there some reason you thought you had rabies from a bat? I must have missed something.

According to our local public health authority, they do carry rabies

Bat rabies has accounted for 58% of the human rabies cases in the United States since 1980 and appears to be increasing in frequency...

In 2000 and 2003, two people in Canada died of rabies infection, one in Quebec (2000) and one in British Columbia (2003). These were the first cases of human rabies in Canada since 1985. The most likely sources of infection for both of these people were unrecognized bat exposures.
