Urgent! ! ! Can hamsters infect humans with germs?

Hamsters are small and easy to raise at home. Let me introduce this new fashionable mini pet to you.

Get to know me

Hamsters are small rodents. Their teeth will continue to grow, so they need to be provided with teeth grinding supplies to maintain their length and shape.

Generally, the body length of the Jakalia hamster is about 6-8cm, and the average life span is 2-4 years. Different from ordinary "street mice", hamsters are fat and cute in appearance, with a round head and a round body, large dark and bright eyes, small and separated ears, and a long pouch on each cheek for storing food. It is said that they are named "hamsters" because they have warehouse-like storage organs.

Their abdominal fur is snow-white, and their tails and limbs are extremely short. They are surrounded by a small amount of white fur, revealing a pink body color.

So the impression given by hamsters is: funny, clean, curious, innocent and lively. Rat is a healthy and strong little creature. Even if you accidentally drop it from a height of 1 meter to the ground, it will be fine. However, it may occasionally become comatose, but don't worry, it will recover in a while.

Hamsters are all warm-blooded mammals. Therefore, if you are injured by it,

It is best to be fully injected with human rabies vaccine.

The procedure for injecting human rabies vaccine is: day 0 (the first day, the same day), day 3 (the fourth day,

and so on), day 7, and day 14 , one injection every 28 days.

During the injection of human rabies vaccine, alcohol, strong tea and spicy food should be avoided, and strenuous exercise should be avoided.

Go to the hospital around the 15th day after the full injection of rabies vaccine, and draw 2ml of blood on an empty stomach to test whether antibodies are produced.
