Ouch! Yeah bites can be nasty, keep a close eye on it, though of course if you've had all your tetanus shots that'll be something you don't get.
Funnily enough I was bitten yesterday too - by a squirrel.
Yes, yes, laugh away, I realise how funny that sounds. I decided to have a go at feeding the squirrels in the park from my hand, having seen others doing so. I was ofering one a HUGE raisin, and it just ignored it and decided to go for my finger instead! Apparently I am very tasty. Fortunately it didn't even pierce the skin, but it hurt for a while - those things have powerful jaws! I walked home shaking my head, laughing inwardly and with an internal Rodney-esque monologue of "I can't believe it bit me!"

No more feeding squirrels for me....
Hope that story distracted you for a few seconds.
