A little more news
According to Changchun disease control news, theoretically, as mammals, rodents will be infected and spread rabies virus, but due to the small size of common mice, if bitten by a rabies dog or large animal, it is almost impossible to survive, so the risk of rats transmitting rabies is negligible, and rabies transmission between rodents has not been found in nature.
More than 99% of rabies in humans is transmitted by dogs, followed by cats, bats and other animals. So far, there have been no reported cases of rats transmitting rabies to humans. So, a rat bite is only theoretically possible to contract rabies, but it has never actually happened, so there is no need for rabies vaccination.
Infection with haemorrhagic fever in humans is mainly due to contact with or inhalation of rat secretions containing the virus, and there have been no known cases of infection from rat bites. Therefore, it should not be assumed that a rat bite requires hemorrhagic fever vaccination.
There is usually an incubation period of 7 to 14 days from infection to onset of haemorrhagic fever, and it takes about two weeks from vaccination to the production of antibodies. Therefore, it is difficult to prevent and treat hemorrhagic fever after being infected with hemorrhagic fever and then injecting hemorrhagic fever vaccine. The correct approach should be to go to the hospital in time to standardize the treatment of the wound, observe for two weeks, if there is a fever or cold symptoms, go to the hospital in time, and do your best to move the treatment threshold forward.
