What is the best thing to do when a hamster bites you?

If you've been bitten or scratched by an animal that might carry rabies, immediately wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water and disinfect with either alcohol or iodine. Then call your doctor promptly. If the animal is a healthy domestic pet, it may be put under confinement for several days and observed for symptoms of the disease. Wild animals will be captured, if possible, and euthanized to test for definitive evidence of rabies in their brains.

If there's been any physical contact with a bat -- with or without evidence of a bite -- your doctor may want to start rabies treatment. Bats have tiny teeth which may not leave easily visible marks. In most recent cases of bat-associated viral infection in the U.S., there was no visible bite mark present, and in many cases, there was only casual physical contact, such as removing a bat from the house. Often, patients had no memory of a bat encounter at all.

If the animal can't be found, your doctor will ask questions to get a better sense of your risk of rabies. You'll be asked to describe the encounter: What type of animal was it, and did it bite unprovoked? If your doctor thinks you're at risk for rabies, treatment will start immediately.

Fortunately, the days of getting a series of dozens of rabies shots straight into the stomach are long gone, but there's still no magic pill. If you have not had rabies shots before, you will get a series of five injections over the course of four weeks, typically in the arm (or for children, in the thigh). It takes seven to 10 days to produce an immune reaction, and immunity lasts about two years. If you've had any rabies shots in the past, you may receive only two injections.

You may also receive a single shot of rabies immune globulin that will give you immediate antibodies to fight the infection because once the rabies virus enters the nerves and starts to travel towards the brain, the immune system isn't able to fight it. This shot will be given near the bite mark. If you've been vaccinated for rabies before, you may not need the immune globulin shot but should still get a series of two vaccine injections.

It's extremely rare to catch rabies from another person. The only documented cases in this country were from organ transplants. Still, health-care workers treating a person with suspected rabies should take standard precautions such as wearing protective clothing and masks. Close contacts such as friends and relatives do not require treatment, unless they were bitten by the patient or exposed to the patients saliva through a skin abrasion or contact involving the mucous membranes.
