yes, you will be ok, I have rats and the rat bite fever thing. it's rare in this country and most will never see it. but it can happen and I just wanted to put it out there to make you aware of it, not to scare anyone. I do know and talked to the person who had it, it almost killed her, mainly because they didn't know what she had. she even had bumps in her mouth from it. if it was caught sooner then it wouldn't of been so bad.
