Don't man it out. No walk in centres where you live.? A tetanus injection at the very least.

Dido; Contrary to popular misconception, a rats Bite won't give you Weils. That comes from a bacteria carried in their urinary system.

However, it can cause you untold grief. Something they used to call " Rat Bite Fever ".

A&E on a Friday night? Probably riskier! I'd call the out of hours GP line and ask them.

It's carried in saliva, urine and blood I believe....

I’d get it seen to face that as been said rat bite fever can give you endocarditis etc not worth risk a leaving it

Reminds me of the time, prob 30+ years ago, I was struck down with Man Flu or summat., Hospitalised,, asked the lady doc if she could check for Weil's Disease, she was impressed that I knew about that as she shoved her finger up my arse. . Said I'd been handling a few full rat traps but she said the test results came back negative

Cheers, D.

Anyone ever been bitten? 

Everyone keeps saying I should go to the doctors for a jab but what jab am I asking for? It's impossible to see a doctor without getting past the pit bull on reception. 

Dogs dug a rat out at the side of the duck pond, I could see a tail sticking out so I grabbed it and pulled it out while holding back two terriers with the other. Obviously was never going to work and the fecking dog launched itself at the rat and landed in my lap, as I toppled backwards the rat walloped my finger like a viper.. 

Honestly never known pain or blood like it. I managed to wrap my finger in elsata plaster stuff that they use on cows feet. On a side note that suff is fantastic for emergency treatment of man or beast. 

Got our kid to clean it and he poured iodine on it. Not much else I can do....its fairly throbbing now like 

Wait till you get nailed by a old fox on your hand  feck me that does swell and throb your finger looks like you chipped a nail should of let the border sort it

Had a fox hanging off my wrist while a big ignorant wheaten lurcher was trying to squeeze the foxes guts out through its arse. Lol. That got a tad emotional especially when every cnut that should've been giving me a  hand were rolling about laughing at me. Lol.

Funniest one I've seen was a mate trying to break a terrier of a fox in a dig, he broke the terrier off alright but ended up with a thumb on one hand and a finger on the other hand firmly clamped in the foxes mouth. Lol. A complete fcuking seige. Lol. 

Funniest part was he was one of the lads that stood and laughed at me 20 years previous, karma is a bitch I tell ye. Lol.
