Is there a cure if a rat bites you?

A rat bite in and of itself is not something to cure. It is simply a small wound that will heal like any other. However, a bite from a rat can transmit disease. How treatable it is depends on the disease. The greatest risk is of rabies. If you are bitten by a rat or any other mammal that you do not know wash the wound and see a doctor immediately to ask about a rabies shot. If you wait until rabies symptoms appear, you will almost certainly die.
