A child’s innocence is simple and pure. A video has been circulating of a child who caught a rat and showed it to her mother.
The incident happened in Malaysia.
There is this saying, It’s the innocence of the child that makes them fearless.
The video was captioned “Mummy, I caught Mickey mouse“
The mother then screams in terror and told her child to get rid of it.
Most netizens laugh but some others diss the adult that was filming as a rat’s bite can result in pain, swelling and harmful infections that can lead to puss-filled wounds.
Rat’s themselves are potentially deadly to humans as they carry a number of diseases such as rat-bite fever, salmonellosis and bubonic plague.
The rat’s urine/faeces is also absolutely toxic to the human body and result in organ failure which can be fatal.
One can only imagine if the child put it in her mouth.
