Mouse bite

[maccam]

Alright, and of disscussion.

Can I get rabies from a squirrel or a mouse?

Squirrels, mice, and other small rodents have only very rarely been found to have rabies, and have never been known to transmit rabies to humans or other animals. In general, postexposure treatment is not recommended after a bite from one of these animals unless it is unusually vicious or appears obviously ill. Groundhogs are the only rodents that are likely to be infected with rabies virus in areas where raccoons are commonly found to be rabid.

You are all good people on here, THANKS FOR THE ADVICE!!!

My sister-in-law said that rabies hardly exist anymore.

And your sister-in-law sounds like a fool. (Sorry if I'm being too frank.)

In 2001 nearly 7,500 animals were discovered with rabies in the US (an increase of almost 1% from the year before). If anything, throughout the years, rabies is becoming more prevalent among wild animals.

That could have been my fault.

Did you do the smart thing and go to the doctor? If not, can I have your computer?

This has to be my favorite stupid medical advice thread so far this year. I suggest shooting yourself right now*, just to save your family any trouble of dragging your rabies-infested body into the woods, or in the future having to hog up bandwidth showing us you blowing yourself up, or cutting your arms off with a chain saw, or lighting your butt on fire with lighter fluid, or whatever other Darwin award you deem yourself worthy of pursuing.

If that sounds harsh, maybe a career as a eunuch starting yesterday would be more appropriate, just for safety's sake.

*Please use the forethought of actually doing this in the woods, rather than somewhere your family will have to remove you from, ie the toilet.
