Mouse bite

2025-01-13 21:01:06
I felt a mouse crawling on my hair while sleeping not sure though and not sure if it's bitten me or not? What do I do? Do I need to take any tetanus shot or something ? I have gotten a tetanus shot and rabies vaccination shot in June 2022 since I was bitten by a dog.

If you're unsure about a bite and there’s no visible wound, you likely don’t need a tetanus or rabies shot. However: Check for Bite Marks: Look for redness, swelling, or puncture marks. Wash the Area: Clean with soap and water if there's any scratch or wound. Observe for Symptoms: Watch for swelling, redness, or pain. Since you had both tetanus and rabies shots in 2022, you're likely protected. If unsure or symptoms develop, consult a doctor.
