A mouse bit my finger,What do I do?
The mouse bit my finger but there was no visible cut,or bleeding. A sensation of being pinched persisted in the area with no visible breakage of skin. A small raised bump was there but I'm not 100% sure If it was from the bite. I immediately washed it with lifeboy soap for 2 minutes and washed with dettol,and further applied some dettol on the finger. I received anti tetanus shot last year and anti rabies booster shot 2 months back. What do I need to do now? I saw several articles which talked about HantaVirus,but since the skin did not visibly break,am I at risk? Thank you for ready and understanding my query. Looking forward to expert opinions

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
First of all, you aren't even sure that you had a bite.
Anyways, you don't need anything.
You already have taken tetanus and rabies shots.
You have already done everything you could do to the finger by washing and applying antiseptic.
Best regards.
