Actually, a death caused directly by rabies is very rare thanks to the availability of vaccines and treatments. Since 2000, the United States only sees about 2-3 cases per year of rabies in humans. Worldwide, the rate is higher, with approximately 50-60,000 deaths per year, virtually all in Africa and Asia.

Bats and skunks are the predominant victims of rabies, and again very few rats are reported as carriers/victims.

What can you catch from a bite of a ferret?

Nothing. The chance of a ferret actually transmitting anything like rabies is very improbable. There has never been a transmission of rabies from a ferret to a human. There have been less than 30 cases of rabies in ferrets ever recorded in the United States compared to thousands of cases in dogs, cats, and agricultural animals. In fact you're more like to transmit something to them.
