In some rural and even urban areas of China, due to the poor environmental quality, it is easy to breed rats and other species, so what should be done in case of being accidentally bitten by rats? Will it be infected with plague?
How to deal with mouse bite
1. Wash with water or soapy water at the first time
After the rat bites, first wash the wound with clear water or soapy water to squeeze out the blood of the wound. The wound should be open and not bandaged. If the wound is deep or large in area, go to the hospital in time to clean and disinfect the wound, and carry out anti tetanus treatment (breaking the tetanus antitoxin). At the same time, antibiotics should be used to prevent and treat the common bacterial infection of the wound.
2. Do not overwork in bed
It's not that you're bound to get sick when the virus enters your body. You have the last line of defense - resistance. Take more rest to improve your resistance.
3. Observe body temperature at any time within one week
Once you have a fever, you should suspect that you may be infected, so you should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. If there is no temperature rise within a week, you can rest assured.
4. Vaccination
Once bitten by mice, they should go to the hospital in time to inject EHF vaccine and rabies vaccine.
