: i had newly imported some chipmunks from china, i was bitten will tranfering them to their cages.
: bites were small and not deep, but they broke the skin and one had some blood that came out.
: there were reports in the net that this types pf rodents carry rabies, what do you people recommend?
: i take the anti-rabies shot? any site recommendation that has complete info on rabies from animals-man-man?

: can this be transmitted thru human to human with in 72 hours of the incident?

Its hard to tell if a animal have rabbies.. test the animal for rabies.. cause I am sure you don't want to over 2 dozen shots for no reason if there wasn't rabbies.. But if rabies goes untreated. it cause mental retartation.
