Mad hamster?

We have heard about mad cow disease, rabies or hydrophobia - a disease of the nervous system of dogs and other animals, which can also cause a type of madness and death in humans who are bitten by a diseased animal ... But have you ever heard of a mad hamster disease?

The reason for me asking is that I have one very MAD hamster in my keeping...Her name is Emil... At first I thought it was a male but I was proven wrong ...Anyway, she simply hates anything that moves - be it your finger, or the wind moving some of the stuffs in her cage even when you pass through her cage on the way to the bathroom... She would squeal and shriek showing her teeth to the 'intruders'... This obviously lead to a practical joke being executed by my husband and me - just to entertain ourselves sometimes. We would be standing by her cage and blow some air directly to her, making her stand and starts to shriek with all her might.

This morning I was feeding them with sunflower seeds - I had a handful of the seeds in my palm when I lowered it into her food tub / pan. Next thing I know, I had a hamster clinging on my middle finger simply by the teeth. She was hanging in the air for a good 2 minutes before she finally let go - shrieking & squealing at the same time. I had to endure her weight & the pain by keeping still. Whenever I wriggle my fingers, she would bit harder in order to cling unto me. It was a funny scene but I was too shocked to see the funny side of it...

So back to my question - is it possible that I am now infected with a mad hamster disease? LOL I hope not.
