Just thought I'd share with you all what happened yesterday :P
Anyway, I get bitten by rats on occasion but until yesterday, the worst was just a deep, bloody hole in my finger. But this time, the rat bit repeatedly, making a huge gash on my knuckle (as well as holes on the side of my finger and under it). It started to swell really quickly, I ended up going to the doc's. By the time I got there, it was a good 2.5-3x the normal size of my finger, and I lost a lot of blood.
No stitches in case of infection, but there's a huge bandage on it and I'm supposed to expect the pain and swelling to last until the a/bs kick in, which'll be another couple days. It's still bleeding (the bandage is soaked!)... sucks eh
No permanent dammage, but it still hurts!
Lesson? Wear gloves!
