A rat bite causes an injury but not necessarily a disease. Since there are germs that live in the mouth of a rat (much as there are germs that live in the mouths of people) a rat bite can cause an infection which potentially, if not treated, can become very serious, the most extreme form of which is gangrene. It is also true that rats, like all mammals, have the capability of carrying the very serious disease of rabies. However, most rats are not rabid.
