E-DRUG: Bitten by a Rat

To Whom This May Concern:

I received the following e-mail message from someone in the Philippines.
Unfortunately, I am not informed about the issue. Would someone who knows
how to respond to this party's question please reply directly to him, and
also cc a copy to me so that I know what the answer is? Thanks.

    Two weeks ago, I was bitten by a rat. Do you think this is dangerous?
    Do I need to have anti rabies shots. Thanks.
