Rats have been known to carry some of mans deadliest diseases. The Black Plague was caused by the FLEAS that were on the rats. But rats are known to carry Rabies and that is transmitted by bites. I would go to the Emergency Room as soon as possible. You will have to get a Rabies shot and treat the wound for possible infection.  (+ info)

Why do i still have affects of a rat bite i had years and years ago?


About 4 years ago i was bitten by a rat on the end of my finger, ever since then the bitten area has been extremely sensitive and it has some kind of rectangle shaped hard thing paralel to my nail inside the skins. Is there anything i can do to stop it being so sensitive and does anyone know what the @&#% the weird hard thing is??
----------

I suspect it's just underlying tissue damage and perhaps a collection of blood/lymphocytes under the skin.
However, rats carry a number of bacterial infections in their saliva - some of them serious- so maybe worth getting checked out by a Doc. If you didn't have any sort of reaction at the time, fever or sore joints, I would think it's not an issue.  (+ info)

yes, if allergic reaction occurs, you can possibly suffer from fever...

but according to your statement that there are also mosquitoes around your house, these could also be the cause of your fever... please assess deeply and check for any other reactions like red spots on your skin, nose bleeding, head ache or anything... if these were also present, please consult your doctor as soon as possible  (+ info)

Is my fever do to a UTI or a bad bug/spider bite?


I have a UTI right now and I have had a high fever. I just assumed it was due to the UTI, but then I noticed the bites I had got a few days ago were changing. They are swollen and a purplish-redish color and they are spaning out very slowly. Could my fever be from the bug bites or is it more likely from my uti?
----------

If the bites are purplish-red and spreading out, they could be infected. Signs of infection are swelling, redness, and fever, plus the bites would feel feverish. I would see a doctor just to be sure. Especially if you are on medication for the UTI. If you have been on meds for the UTI for several days, the fever stage should be gone.  (+ info)
