A woman in Wuxi, eastern China's Jiangsu Province, claims that she gave a rodent that bit her right hand a heavy lesson in life by biting it back. However, she quickly found that she had injured her mouth during the process and went to a hospital for treatment and vaccination.On December 21st, an 18-year-old woman went to a hospital for treatment and vaccination. She described to doctors that she was bitten by a roddent and bit it back 2 hours ago. On the following day, the woman's roommate also told reporters that a roddent had entered their room and the roommate caught it using her hands, however, the roddent bit her right hand.
Feeling provoked, the woman also took a bite on the roddent to teach it a lesson and left two bite marks on its head. Doctors at the hospital said this was the first time they saw or attended to someone with such a case. They treated her injury; and vaccinated her for tetanus and rabies.While some netizens said they understood the woman's reaction as many would react the same way when they are threatened, most of netizens described her reaction as "savage".
"Every person naturally have a self-defense reaction when they are faced with danger, the woman's first reaction during fighting when she was little might have been biting people." Commented one netizen."You must be savage to bit that (roddent)..." Wrote another."She is really tough! I am impressed." Commented another netizen.According to Infection Control Today, while rodents are active year-round, they seek shelter indoors when outdoor temperatures are low. This creates a season of vulnerability in rodent infestation in both businesses and homes. Rodents—and the parasites that they can carry with them—can pose significant health risks and are known to transmit more than 35 illnesses.Rodents can both directly and indirectly spread diseases, which means that some diseases can spread directly through a rodent bite. In contrast, others can be passed indirectly through droppings, urine, saliva, blood, or exposure to the fleas and mites they carry.It’s important to note the health risks rodents can pose to people; however, the frequency of rodent-transmitted disease is low compared to the relative volume of these pests.
