Um...when you mean rat, do you mean a pet rat or a wild one? Rats are curious creatures, and well, it could have bitten out of curiosity, or it could have just been nibbling. It could have been that you smell of food, and its first reaction is to get a bite. If it was a pet rat, you'd be safer, as long as the rat is clean and has no illness. If it was a wild one, then I suggest you go to a doctor to check for infections, although I'm not saying a pet one is free of infections. If it simply nibbled you, and there're no signs of your skin peeling off, or blood, then you simply need to get it washed, and you'll be fine.

If a rat bites you on the thumb, you will feel pain and say "ouch!" or something stronger.

After being bitten, clean the cut with soap and water and use hydrogen peroxide or another disinfectant to disinfect the wound. If the bite came from a wild rat, you should see your doctor to be sure there is no infection.

If any wild animal bites you, you need to get treated by a doctor because wild animals often carry diseases such as rabies. Some of these diseases can be fatal if left untreated for too long!
