: you could try to get some of their saliva tested for viruses (don't know how, but it's an option)

: I have CVID, and have never had a snake-bite-related infection, even from snakes larger than your rats, due to me cleaning them really really well (lots of H202)

: Unless your bloodflow to extremities (ie hands and feed) is slow as a result of the diabetes, i wouldn't think that you would recieve a virus in the bite, unless you're noticing obvious festering in the bite, and even then i would think it's from something entering the wound after you're bitten

: it sounds more like a kind of inhaled infection, before my CVID was controlled i had almost constant symptoms such as you describe due to a small persistent lung infection that would flare up every few months into massive infections

: anyways
: that's what i think
