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.


If you touched a dead rat that had rabies could you get rabies?

Yes you can get rabies from a WILD rat.But PET rats do not carry rabies because at the pet store, they receive rabies shots before they are put on sale.This is why you should never touch a wild rat if you ever encounter one. If you somehow get bit by a wild rat seek immediate medical attention as in going to the hospital to get a rabies shot. If a PET rat bites you do not worry because they WILL NOT carry this disease.

What disease does a rat bite give please?

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.
