A small mouse bit me
A small mouse that's been ony house for over a week now, today a few minutes ago it bit me near my nostrils while I was sleeping. I woke up with the pain. Do I need rabies injections? Since the floors are all wet due to the rains, could it have transmitted any disease by coming near my nostrils if it was wet? I blew my nose hard to clear any pathogens going in my nose. What needs to be done now?
