A rat has bitten me

2018-09-21 16:50:13
Just before some time while I was sitting in my workshop , A rat grabbed my finger and was trying to bite me. I felt a sensation of a rat's tooth on my index finger and then shook my hand quickly and the rat ran away. I was not bitten and I don't have any pierce , tear or scratches , I then washed my hands with soap and Dettol antiseptic. Now what should I do ? What are the precautions that I can take. Please help me . Thank You
