What to do if bitten by a rat

1. Rinse the wound with alcohol: The first reaction after being bitten is to disinfect it. Generally, if the wound is not treated, the incidence rate is only 2-4%, and it will be even lower after disinfection. Therefore, use alcohol to kill the virus before it infects you after being bitten. Medical alcohol is the most effective disinfectant. If the wound is small and only a layer of skin is broken, you just need to wipe it with a cotton swab. If the wound is deeper, you can pour rubbing alcohol on the wound to rinse it.

2. Go to the hospital to get vaccinated: Generally, infectious diseases have a certain incubation period, so it is useful to get vaccinated before the onset of the disease. Generally, the injection is serum, which is relatively expensive, costing about 200 yuan per injection.

3. Rest in bed and don’t overwork: It doesn’t mean that you will get sick once the virus enters your body. You still have the last line of defense - resistance. Pay attention to getting more rest to improve your resistance.

4. Observe your body temperature at any time within a week: Once you have a fever, you should suspect that you may be infected, and you should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. If your body temperature does not rise within a week, you can rest assured.

5. Eliminate rats to prevent secondary bites: There are many ways to eliminate rats. One of the green methods is to use a mousetrap. When a mouse is caught by a mousetrap, the mouse will scream. Other mice will hear the screams and stay away from this place. This is a learning ability of mice.

2. If there is bleeding, first squeeze out the blood from the bite, then rinse it with clean water, and apply alcohol around the wound for disinfection.

3. If the amount of bleeding is heavy, at this time, you should squeeze out the blood from the bitten area, and then wash it repeatedly with soapy water. After the blood coagulates, there will be no negative effects.

4. After the wound is treated, if it swells up the next day, you must go to the hospital to get a tetanus shot. This is because there is a viral infection, and the tetanus shot is to prevent bacterial infection.
