Hello all. I’m having a bit of a freak out as I was having a meal in my parents garden when we saw a rat run through the plants in the border.
They have never had rats before and it seemed to be going to the bird feeder for seeds. It was about a metre away from us and I didn’t touch it.
Now what I’m worried about is that the rat may have climbed onto the picnic table and contaminated it with bacteria and that I am going to get sick with leptospirosis. My dad said he wiped the table top down earlier today but I’m worried that maybe he didn’t do it properly or missed a spot as my knife and fork were on the table!!
AIBU or is there actually any danger?!
