The most that would probably happen to you is the bite comes infected.
Clean the wound with Peroxide. Put antibiotic ointment on it and keep bandaged.
If the kittens are still nursing the mothers vaccinations also protect them from diseases.

Soak it is salt and warm water. It will draw out the infection. Do this 3 x a day, then apply some antibiotic ointment on it and a band aide!
I doubt that kitten has rabies!

I've been bitten by so many cats that have never been vacinated and have never had a problem....i agree with the first answer. Cat bites are hardly ever a problem.

Trust me, unless the kitten was bitten AT BIRTH by a rabid animal, you're fine. The kitten's too young to be a threat, and unless you're experiencing symptoms like headaches, malaise and general INSANITY, you're fine. ;)

don't worry, you're fine. I've been bitten by my cats over and over until they finally started liking me. Nothing ever happens.

Keep it clean and if it starts to get red or pusses up ~ go to the doctor.
