A) google to see whether or not humans can get rabies from squirrels, B) if they can, bring in the squirrel for testing, C) if you can't get the squirrel, get rabies shots. Immediately. Animals can be contagious with rabies before they show any symptoms
If it had rabies, you're screwed. Read: dead. But on the bright side.. Well, I guess there isn't one. Go see a doctor. Hypothetically speaking of course.
I had a bizarre nightmare the other night that a squirrel jumped out from the back of my couch and leapt at me with a firey vengeance, in a possible attempt to eat my face. Tetanus, dude. Tetanus.
@tayacb that's exactly the right answer. Any mammal can carry rabies and can infect a human with its saliva. Rabies is rare in squirrels because they don't usually survive the attack by another animal that would give them rabies but it does happen. OP should get immediate professional medical attention.
Okay I googled this and there is no known case for squirrels infecting humans. But hypothetically it could happen and any mammal can carry rabies. Look up rabies on wiki
