The sensory hairs on a rat's face are called vibrissae. These long, stiff hairs are highly sensitive and serve as tactile sensors, helping rats navigate their environment by detecting nearby objects and changes in air currents. Vibrissae play a crucial role in the rat's sense of touch, especially in low-light conditions.

Should there be rats on your face?

The official answer should be no, its not hygenic, but as an owner of three lovely rats, I let my rats run all over me, including my face and head. I don't think there is a problem with it. I am assuming you are talking about pet rats, obviously if you touched a wild rat you should wash your hands as they can carry disease.
