I made that same mistake Meliisa. We had trapped a VERY feral, emaciated in tact male. This was in my EARLY days of trapping when I didn't know any better.

We went to transfer him to a carrier, OUTSIDE. He was trying to get out of the carrier and bit a woman I was trapping with. He got out and my friend had to go through rabies shots.

Lesson learned. WEAR GLOVES and transfer indoors.
