It feels almost like a muskrat bit you.

Enough that I am sure you won't want to let it happen again just for
giggles!

It hurts a lot worse when you are slashed across the face with a frozen muskrat !!!  w

Not much…stick it in there and let it happen. Your post on being bit while sleeving is why I ask.

It feels almost like a muskrat bit you. Not sure what I'd do without all your help.

I found out it is not too bad and better than a mink or coon.
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

The blood from a bite will fill your mid-forearm gauntlets. It don’t feel real good either.

I've had them latch on to the toe of a hip wader before. After experiencing that, I can definitely say that you would never want the to get you by the finger.

The bite not bad compared to the infection or disease you contract after.
Wash it out good with dettol.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Got bit on the hand two different occasions. No pain at all initially as they have very sharp incisors. Lots of blood but ice cold water was nearby to help clean and abate the blood flow. Still have the scars from 40 plus years ago. Never went in for shots and never ended up too crazy. I do try hard nowadays to avoiding getting bit!

Chris Yes, it looks worse than it hurts. No need for shots…muskrat aren’t a carrier of rabies.

I got bit by a rat that turned out to be a mink. The bite didn't hurt as bad as when I yanked my hand out of the rat house and ripped the web of my hand open. I admit it, I made little girl noises.
I have nothing clever to put here.

I’m just trying to figure out why ask? Did you lose a bet and now have to let one bite you? Are you planning on getting bit in the future? Just curious…
Oh the plot thickens with this statement now.
