Now my colleague who got scratched by rat wants to bite me..... is it dangerous??

I'm a nurse. Yes this is very dangerous. Rats carry rabies. Your friend would need to get the five series of rabie shots right away for protection from rabies. This is serious please don't ignore, it could turn fatal.

Well, I would first ask who is the rat?? Second i would call the poison control center, rats carry rabbies and a scratch could be fatal and deadly. I would like to know who has rats as pets? THIS COULD BE SERIOUS, i would suggest to call a doctor and
a Michigan Urgent Care *** 888 648_ 7436 and call the local sherifs office and report this.... the number should help u or anyone scratched or hurt....

why would you have been playing with a rat to get scratched??? thats pretty odd, but if its only a scratch then you should pour peroxide over it to kill the germs, then put neosporin on it with a bandage, it should heal in no time!!!!=)

The rat must be terminated.
