While a fear of rats is very challenging and very common, remember one thing:-
Rats are not typically aggressive toward humans unless they feel threatened or cornered. However, they can become defensive and may bite if they feel threatened or if they are cornered and have no escape route. Rats may also bite if they are sick or injured.
When you come across a rat they are probably more scared than you are. They will only attack to defend themselves so (maybe hard to believe with their reputation) they are very very unlikely to come anywhere near you by choice.
