After being bitten by a hamster, it is recommended to first wash the area with soapy water and water. If there is bleeding, the wound should be examined and disinfected in a hospital and vaccinated.
After being bitten by a hamster, if there is no bleeding and only minor skin damage, you can use water and soapy water to rinse the wound locally, and use iodophor to disinfect the wound after rinsing to make sure that the wound has not penetrated the skin and may not go to the hospital for treatment.
For those who bleed after biting, you need to first rinse the wound locally, and then press the wound with clean tissue paper and go to the hospital in time.
The doctor will disinfect and clean the wound, check for any foreign body residue, and dress the wound properly. Since rodents such as hamsters may carry infectious diseases such as tetanus and epidemic hemorrhagic fever, it is recommended that you get vaccinated against tetanus, as well as against epidemic hemorrhagic fever, after disposing of the wound.
If you are bitten by a hamster and are unable to treat the wound on your own, it is recommended that you go to the hospital promptly.
