    Being bitten by a hamster is not a big deal, as long as the dirty blood is squeezed out in time and the wound is cleaned, it will be fine, because the hamster is relatively clean, basically does not carry infectious germs, if you are really worried then go to the injection, but that is just to seek a psychological comfort. Haemorrhagic fever is a disease that is susceptible to rodent pet bites, and the haemorrhagic fever vaccine must be injected before the bite to be effective. But then again, hamsters don't bite easily, and only in certain situations when hamsters feel that their safety is in great danger.

    As the saying goes, a dog jumps over a wall when he's in a hurry, and a rabbit kicks an eagle when he's in a hurry. I hope that all rat friends will pay more attention to their hamsters in the process of raising them, and try to avoid unnecessary accidents. If you are really bitten by a hamster, don't panic, before the sky is about to fall, remove the dirty blood in time, disinfect the wound, clean it, and avoid infection.

    There are two types of injections to be given at the epidemic prevention center, one is rabies vaccine and the other is hemorrhagic fever vaccine. It is still recommended to go to the epidemic prevention station to get vaccinated, which is safer and more secure (especially if the rats have not been vaccinated).Both shots are given at regular intervals, which last about a month, and the rabies vaccine has to be given a final dose in the second year.

    **Probably a few hundred dollars.

    For specific conditions, it is still necessary to consult the epidemic prevention station.

    Being bitten by a hamster usually doesn't cause serious consequences. Hamsters have relatively small teeth, and biting cuts usually result in only superficial wounds on the surface, similar to scratches or small puncture wounds. However, as with any bite, it is advisable to clean the wound promptly and take appropriate measures to prevent infection.

    Here are some general recommendations:

    1.Wash the wound thoroughly with water and mild soap. Make sure to rinse the wound well so that no bacteria remain.

    2.Gently wipe the wound with an antiseptic (such as chlorhexidine or iodine solution). This can help kill bacteria and reduce the risk of infection.

    3.Antibiotic ointments, such as chloramphenicol ointment, are applied to wounds to promote wound healing and prevent bacterial infection.

    4.Observe the development of the wound. If the wound is red, swollen, oozing pus, or has other abnormal symptoms, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly so that the doctor can evaluate and provide further **.

    While hamster bites usually do not cause serious consequences, be aware that there is a certain risk of infection associated with any mammalian bite. If you are concerned about a wound or any abnormalities, consult a doctor or veterinarian for appropriate advice and**.

    There will be viruses and bacteria.

    If you are bitten by a hamster or other warm-blooded mammal, you should first wash the wound with soapy water, or rinse the wound with water, and you can also use medical alcohol and iodine to disinfect the wound; After treating the wound, the injured person should go to the nearby CDC for examination in time and receive rabies vaccination according to the diagnostic opinion of professional medical personnel.

    The chance of developing rabies after being bitten by a hamster is very small, but the virus is not visible to the naked eye, and no matter how small the wound is, it will be many times larger than the virus.

    Rabies is generally not caused by a hamster bite, and rabies is not transmitted by rodents. However, being bitten by a hamster may cause hemorrhagic fever, and the probability of its onset needs to be analyzed according to the specific situation, mainly related to the type of hamster, the bite situation, the treatment method, and the prevention of immunization.

    1.Bites from domestic pet hamsters generally do not contract hemorrhagic fever. Because pet hamsters have no access to the haemorrhagic fever virus, it is almost impossible to transmit haemorrhagic fever by biting people.

    However, if you are bitten by a hamster in the wild, there is a possibility that the haemorrhagic fever virus can be acquired in the wild, and the disease may spread after biting a person.

    2.If there is no obvious breakage in the area, the likelihood of infection is also low. If the bite causes bleeding, there is a chance of infection.

    3.Rinsing and disinfecting with iodophor after a bite can reduce the chance of infection. If not handled correctly, the chance of infection increases.

    4.Vaccination against haemorrhagic fever can greatly reduce the likelihood of infection.
