Hi Minar, The first thing to do is to acknowledge your fear. You appear to have done that therefore you can now move forward and reach a stage where you can work rationally.
Other list members have given you a description. I have had a rat run over my foot. I felt a blunt set of things running over my foot and it was gone. As for touching a rat, much depends on where you touch it. It is unlikely you will grab the rat's mouth. Irrespective of where you touch it, the idea is to get yourself oriented really quickly. Keep its mouth away from your body hence grabbing the tail may be a workable option. Seriously though, get pest control and sort out the problem. Keeping windows shut all the time is not practical. I have had rats come in through a window air conditioner. I am not sure if it was hiding in the machine to begin with or it came in from the outside portion and then dropped into my dustbin and then from there, jumped into my room. Your ears give you quite a lot of information about its movements. I am going down memory lane. I have had a rat bite me once. Remember, you are way bigger and significantly more powerful as compared to the rat. I felt the impact of teeth on my fingers and immediately drew my hand back. The bite did not break the skin therefore nothing happened. I am typing with the same fingers until today. One last thing, look for a rat soft toy, this is one way for you to feel the shape of this creature and other animals as well in a safe way.
