Please tell me, a family of hedgehogs appeared on the site, the hedgehogs actively made contact when trying to feed them, including licking their hands. After about two weeks, the family gradually died completely, without visible injuries.
About 20 days have passed since the first contact, do I need to see a doctor?

If you have had close contact with hedgehogs that subsequently died, it is recommended that you consult a doctor immediately. Although hedgehogs do not pose a great threat to humans, they can transmit diseases that can be dangerous. Hedgehogs can suffer from infections that are not visible to the naked eye. The fact that animals die without visible injuries may suggest the presence of an infectious disease or poisoning, which requires further analysis.
Observe your well-being and any symptoms, such as fever or unusual ailments. It's also a good idea to check with your veterinarian for more information about the potential risks associated with contact with wild animals.
