Rat scratch and no blood came out

2021-06-21 19:34:20
Hi, A big black rat ran over my foot and left some scratch marks. After 4-5 minutes, I washed the foot, first with diluted and after that with undiluted dettol liquid, but didn't feel any burning sensation (does it signify the scratch was only superficial?). I am attaching the pics of foot also. Just wanted to know if I need to take TT or ARV? And do I need to monitor it for any future complications ? Thanks for any advise.
