Just been bitten by a squirrel, Rabies?

[JimNotJon]

Quite a funny one really, was out taking photos for my 365 today and I came across a couple of Squirrels.. grey ones. Anyway to cut a long story short I started feeding one monkey nuts out my hand, however one bit me. It didn't draw any blood, and there are no physical marks. Are there any chances I could of caught something off of it?

Just lol

When did you last have a tetanus jab?

Bats can carry rabies, but it's pretty much eradicated in the UK.

Just keep a glass of water nearby and look at it every now and again. If you've got squirrel rabies, it'll drive you nuts.

Have you considered the plague yet?

I believe my tetanus is well out of date. Perhaps a good time to get topped up again (I'm sure it was over ten years ago). So am I safe to say I should be ok, or would you advise a call to the quacks?

if you start hording your nuts then you have an issue

Just LOL.

Not a Doc though so can't help with whether you're going to start gnawing at the cables behind your pc.

My o/h once insisted on going to A&E because he was bitten by a baby stoat that he rescued from the cat... I nearly died laughing.

Serves you right you muppet.

Out of interest,you say 'to cut a long story short'...WTF were you doing to the squirrel to make it bite you?

He mentioned he was holding the squirrel's nuts in the first post.

Monkey nuts.

That's like peanuts.

And that sounds like, well, yes.

[TheEnd]

He's lucky it was just the squirrel that got him, if the monkey went for him, I'd be taking every injection under the sun.

Rabies does not exist in the UK.

[goldblum]

I reckon the whole story's made up.

What kind of squirrel bites a human and not only doesn't draw blood,but doesn't even break the skin??

Was it an affectionate nibble? While you were playing with these so called 'nuts'? Eh?



Feck me if it was one of these two you got off lightly

Rabies rabies maybe, but we're talking squirell rabies here...

I would be more worried about squirrel AIDS to be honest.
