| "I like to play with my food" |
A 26-year old lady from Australia had to spend 17 days in the hospitals intensive care wing because she liked to kiss and cuddle her pet rats. Turns out, that isn't such a smart thing to do. Rat Bite Fever or streptobacillus moniliformis infection is caused by up close and personal contact with rats. They don't actually have to bite you to get the fever. I wonder if she raised the rats from newborns or adopted them fully grown? It just seems weird to me to be cuddly with a rat. Linda once knew someone who had pet rats. He told her that rats actually make better companions and have more personality than cats. Now that I believe!
