If you get bitten by a mouse should you get a shot for rabies?

Mice potentially can carry rabies, but it is extremely rare and there has not been a documented case in the US. (Small rodents are believe not to spread the disease because they seldom survive being bitten by an animal that is carrying it, as they are a food source and get eaten.) Ground hogs seem to be the only rodent with the ability to carry it regularly and account for some 80% or more of the cases found in rodents.

Also, and contrary to some folklore, ticks do not carry rabies. Rabies is only carried by warmblooded animals.
