* Aside from the risk of zoonotic diseases that all animals carry, a swarm of bats is more scary than dangerous. They'll bite if handled but if you remain still, they'll fly past and away from you. Roosting bats have much more to fear from spelunkers than the other way around: rousing them in winter can needlessly use up their fat stores and cause them to starve before spring.
