Can house mice and rodents get rabies?i recently pricked myself with a needle which possibly had mice spit on it! should i be worried?

No.: Other common infections perhaps but not rabies.

No risk, no worries: You thought a needle might be contaminated with saliva from a house mouse?? How would that happen? Even if it did, mice and other rodents don't carry rabies. No worries.

Almost never: Small rodents like squirrels, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, chipmunks, rats, and mice) and lagomorphs including rabbits and hares are almost never found to be infected with rabies and have not been known to transmit rabies to humans. http://www.cdc.gov/rabies/exposure/animals/other.html

Mice: Per the CDC, there are no reported cases of mice transmitting Rabies to humans.
