Rat scratch and no blood came out
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.
