Question

Somehow a rat managed to get inside my window AC and he was found dead what precautionsshould wetake afterwash

Answer 1

I couldn't avoid making a comment on the rabies part lol... Rabies in Rats is very very rare. Rat to Human contamination even rarer...

I'd be more worried about general germs and stuff from the AC.. So, like the previous person said.. Gloves! ^_^

Answer 2

eww, i'm sorry, that must have reeked.

take him out, wearing gloves. god knows what kind of vermin he's got.

as for the a/c, just kind of tidy it up where he got in. a little lysol, whatever.

if for some reason you think the rat may have been rabid, send him in to get tested and i would get new a/c for peace of mind. if he drooled in there (and was rabid) and you cut yourself cleaning it up, you're at risk.

be clean! be safe!
