    After being bitten by a rat, you need to be given a tetanus antitoxin (or tetanus immune globulin) and an epidemic hemorrhagic fever vaccine. There may be several consequences after being bitten by rats: 1. Wound infection, in order to prevent such situations, it is necessary to clean the wound in time and apply iodophor or medical alcohol for disinfection.

    2. If the wound is severe and there is a risk of tetanus, it is necessary to inject tetanus antitoxin or tetanus immune globulin. 3. Rats may carry hantavirus, which can cause epidemic hemorrhagic fever after infecting the human body, so the injured need to be injected with hemorrhagic fever vaccine in time. In addition, the injured do not need to be vaccinated against rabies, because China's rabies prevention and control guidelines stipulate that post-exposure rabies immunization prophylaxis is generally not required when exposed to rodents.

    Treatment measures after a human has been bitten by a rat: First, the wound is treated, including irrigation and disinfection of the wound, which can be rinsed with sterile saline, water and hydrogen peroxide, and then disinfected with iodine. If the wound is large, the wound needs to be dressed, and after treating the wound, attention should be paid to the prevention of wound infection, including changing dressings every day and keeping the dressing dry, and antimicrobial drugs can be used to prevent and control infection if necessary.

    Secondly, the more important treatment is to inject the tetanus vaccine, because rats may carry tetanus bacilli, adults who are not immunized against tetanus need to be vaccinated against tetanus, and children who have not been vaccinated against diphtheria, tetanus vaccine may also need to be shot. Finally, medical observation should be carried out in areas where epidemic hemorrhagic fever is endemic, and if symptoms of fever appear, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time.

    Rats usually do not need to be vaccinated, but the wound should be carefully rinsed and disinfected, and if the bite is severe and there is a deep wound, tetanus immune globulin and tetanus vaccine are required.

    Compared with cats and dogs, rats carry a lot of various bacteria and viruses, and it can transmit various bacteria and viruses such as hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, rat bite fever, typhus, tetanus, leptospirosis, etc.

    After being bitten by a rat, the wound should be washed alternately with soapy water (or other weak alkaline cleaning agent) and flowing water at a certain pressure, so that the direction of the water flow is at a certain angle to the wound surface to improve the irrigation effect and reduce the tissue damage caused by the washing, and then rinse the wound with normal saline to avoid soap or other cleaning agent residues.

    After rinsing thoroughly, rub the wound with alcohol, iodine-containing preparations or other **mucosal disinfectants with virus inactivating effect to reduce the probability of infection with bacteria and viruses.

    Rats can theoretically be infected with rabies and can also transmit rabies, but there have been no cases of rat transmission of rabies worldwide, and general guidelines consider rat bites not to require rabies vaccination unless there is a specific reason for doing so.

    Although rats can transmit hemorrhagic fever, it is too late to be vaccinated against hemorrhagic fever after bite, and hemorrhagic fever vaccine cannot be prevented after drug exposure. If the bite is severe, deep wounds, tetanus immune globulin and tetanus vaccine are required.

    Recently, a man found some pain in his ears in the middle of the night, and the back of his head was not particularly comfortable, so he rubbed the blood that he didn't think of touching his hand, and found that there was mouse feces on the side of the pillow. As we all know, rats carry a lot of germs, and there is "plague" in ancient times, so if you are bitten by a rat, you must deal with it in time to sterilize, and if you find a wound, you should wash it with water or soapy water for a minute, try to squeeze out the toxic blood, and then wipe the wound with alcohol or iodine.

    If the wound is deep or large, you must go to the hospital after cleaning it up, and you must check your own blood routine and etiological examination, etc., if there are rats at home, it proves that the environmental sanitation at home is not ideal, such as garbage is not disposed of in time, and the bedding is not dried and washed for a long time. When we are faced with the dirty and rotten living environment or workplace, we must deal with the environment in a timely manner, and once there are rats, we must take rodent extermination actions, such as placing rat poison or rat tongs.

    For people nowadays, it seems that rats are rare, but if we are next to the garbage heap, we will definitely be able to see the appearance of mice, rats like to live in dark and damp places, so the chance of seeing rats in the daily life of the south is greater, rats are not only dirty, but also carry a lot of germs, and even destroy our things. Our daily food can be trampled on by rats, and the kitchen is a habitat that rats like, especially in hidden and damp places like sewers.

    If there are mice in the house, you must deal with them in time, and the best way is to raise cats for a period of time, during which you will clean up the dark corners of your home, so that the mice will not have a place to live, and they will leave. Rats are creatures that are beaten by everyone, and they cannot get along with humans in a friendly way.

    Need.

    Rat-bitten people need to be vaccinated, usually against rabies and, if necessary, against tetanus. Patients should strictly follow their doctor's instructions when taking medications.

    1. Rabies vaccine. After being bitten by a rat, you may be infected with the rabies virus, causing rabies, and the fatality rate of rabies is close to 100%, so rabies vaccination should be given to prevent its onset. Generally, one injection is required on the day, the third, seventh, fourteenth, and twenty-eighth days after being bitten by a rat.

    2. Tetanus vaccine. If there is an open wound after being bitten by a rat, especially if the wound is heavily contaminated and the wound is deep, there is a risk of tetanus infection, and the tetanus vaccine should be given. Tetanus antitoxin or tetanus human immunoglobulin are usually used.

    If you are bitten by a rat, you should seek medical attention in time.

    Being bitten by a rat can have several consequences:

    1. If the wound is infected, the wound needs to be cleaned in time and disinfected with iodophor or medical alcohol.

    Second, rodents are likely to carry rabies virus, if there is bleeding from the wound, it is necessary to inject rabies vaccine in time after repeated cleaning.

    3. According to the depth, size and degree of contamination of the wound, ask the doctor to determine whether it is necessary to inject tetanus antitoxin.

    Fourth, rodents are the source of epidemic hemorrhagic fever infection, and if conditions permit, they also need to be injected with hemorrhagic fever vaccine.

    Rats bite and need to be vaccinated.

    Because mammals such as cats, dogs, bats, and rats can all carry the rabies virus.

    Therefore, after being bitten and scratched by a rat, the virus contained in the saliva can enter the body through the wound, and once infected with the rabies virus and suffering from rabies, the mortality rate is almost 100%, so after being bitten by a rat, the rabies vaccine should be injected within 24 hours, and the sooner the injection, the better.

    Methods of exterminating rats:

    1. Physical methods.

    Household rodent control should try to use physical methods rather than chemical methods, such as using rat traps, rat traps, and sticky rat boards to trap them. If caught, you can drown or pat the rat into the water, but be careful not to touch the rat directly with your hands, as they have a lot of parasites on their body.

    2. Rodenticide.

    Professional rat catchers generally use rice-soaked rice as rodenticide, and after the rats eat it, they will not die immediately, and will not start to attack until they drink water. Rats that have been dosed will lose their vital signs within three or four days.

    3. Biological rodent extermination.

    Cats are the natural enemies of mice, and raising a cat can solve the problem of mice, but we must pay attention to the need to raise cats that can catch mice, and cats that can't catch mice can't reach the biological method of exterminating mice.

    4. Environmental rodent extermination methods.

    Regularly carry out environmental cleaning, carry out environmental sanitation cleaning, remove weeds around the house, random stacked items, often clean indoor and outdoor hygiene, and clean up all kinds of utensils and sundries, so as not to create a living environment for mice. This is also the way to carry out effective rodent extermination.
