What if you get bit by a Chinese dwarf hamster?

The bite of a Chinese dwarf hamster is generally considered to be harmless to humans. However, like any other animal bite, it is important to clean and disinfect the wound to prevent any potential infections. If the bite is deep or if there are any signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or pus, it is advisable to seek medical attention. In rare cases, hamster bites can transmit diseases such as salmonella, so it is important to practice good hygiene after handling any small animals.
