Question
is rat bite poisonous to health?if so,then what are the harms?

Answer
Hello,

Depending on the country and the rat, as to wether it is harmful to your health. Leptospirosis & Weil's Disease are 2 too name a few, but these are normaly from a cut that has got infected by a rat, but any bite or infected cut should be checked by a doctor, as a tetanus may be needed.

Hope all goes well
Thanking You
