[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tetanus shot time. When was your last booster? --former lab rodent researcher...sop for bites was tetanus booster unless you have proof of one in last 10 years. [/quote] Tetanus is your biggest risk and that is an infection you do not want. Even if you've had a booster, get another one anyway. Depending on the depth of the bite, a doctor might want you to take antibiotics for a few days. FWIW, I was bitten pretty deeply by a hamster when I was 12. The doctor gave me a tetanus shot and just told me to watch out for signs of infection. Everything healed just fine.[/quote]
