Huan72 687 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 I was bitten by a rat once through my finger nail, it did smart some what . To be honest I didn't treat it beyond flushing it under a tap. Used to have a care free attitude towards animal bites when younger, but old age has softened me up Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Huan72 687 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 I know Paulus, to be honest I am lucky not to have had any of that in my time, the worst of it all is that I used to teach others about that stuff. Mechanics and their cars, you know what its like seriously though, rat bites or any animal bite for that matter is not to be treated lightly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patterdale 672 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 I'd be more bothered by a rat/mouse/squirrel bite rather than a snake/spider bite ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moll. 1,769 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 No, but i did have one run up the inside of my trouser leg. Peeked it's head out of my waistband at the back, then run back down the inside of my trouser leg again. I busted some good moves that day Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bosun11 537 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Fox got me in that fleshy bit between forefinger and thumb, the bit that webs when you stretch. Near shit and it was the shock of what could have been that done it. Few years later a mate got bit through his thumb nail, hard. Tough bugger he is too but he went the colour of boiled shite and fainted. That fox made a right mess, I didn't envy him that one!! Had a rat run up the back of my coat once, never bit but the feel of it's nails and both knowing what it was, what it could do and that I could only feel and not see was 100 times worse than that fox..!!
