Accidentally scratched by a cat? Can you get rabies?

If you accidentally get scratched by a cat, you don't necessarily get rabies.

Being injured by a cat's claw requires the following measures:

1.Disinfect the wound in a timely manner. You can always have some disinfection supplies at home, such as iodine wine, sterile tampons, etc.

Once you are scratched by a cat, you should wipe the wound with alcohol or iodine in time and rush to the hospital for treatment. For patients with severe scratches, especially those with deep wounds and reaching the subcutaneous dermis, they should be rushed to the hospital for wound treatment and receive corresponding vaccines for preventive treatment to avoid the threat of death caused by the spread of pathogenic bacteria throughout the body.

2.Pregnant women should pay close attention after being scratched. For pregnant women in the family, it is recommended not to keep small animals during pregnancy, because after the pregnant woman is inadvertently scratched, it is likely that the baby in the womb may be miscarried or malformed due to cat scratch disease.

Therefore, once a pregnant woman is scratched, you must not delay the time, and rush to the hospital for the corresponding ** as soon as possible, so as to avoid pathogenic bacteria reaching the baby's body through the placenta, and finally have a serious impact on the baby's growth and development.

3.Do a good job of daily and disinfection of cat's paws. For pets raised at home, we must pay attention to protection, especially for pet paws, etc., you can regularly carry out artificial disinfection treatment, such as repairing sharp paws, insisting on cleaning cats every day, etc., which can not only reduce the probability of being scratched by cats, but also reduce the spread of germs between cats and people, thus greatly reducing the probability of cross-transmission of corresponding germs.

Rabies is transmitted by saliva and blood, and pet cats that have been staying at home cannot carry the rabies virus unless they have run away from home or fought with stray cats! If it is a stray cat or a free-range cat scratching and biting, you should immediately go to the rabies vaccine, a few months later, it is useless, the incubation period of rabies is very long from a few weeks to a few months, if the oak cat is sick, it generally dies within a week! But even if you are violently scratched by a cat carrying rabies, there is only a certain probability that you will get it, not 100%!

Unless you are bitten by a cat that is suffering from the disease, the chance of getting rabies will be very high!

In China, there have been many cases of rabies infection after being scratched by cats in recent years.

In terms of the probability of being infected with rabies, the probability of being bitten by a puppy is very high, and the probability of being scratched by a cat is very high. The probability of rabies following a dog bite is lower.

However, in some medical aspects, many scientists will actually classify rabies according to some different animals, for example, puppies are particularly susceptible to infection, and cats are also particularly susceptible to infection. In fact, cats are more likely to be infected with this rabies than puppies, if you say that you are scratched by a kitten, or after being bitten, don't have a fluke mentality, rabies is very terrible, if the injured person is scratched and injured or bitten after a friend, you must first clean up the wound with water and soap, and then go to the hospital for rabies vaccination. First of all, be sure to disinfect your wound to avoid being infected by some bacteria.

Although it is true that there have been cases of rabies after being scratched by cats in recent years, it is also very rare, if it is said that after being scratched by a cat, or after being bitten. Yes, you don't necessarily get the rabies virus. But after being scratched by a cat or dog, you must go for rabies vaccination, if you say that once infected, there is no way**.

If you have this rabies virus, the mortality rate is 100%. At present, our country does not have the best pathology of being infected with rabies, so we must be careful.

In addition, kittens or puppies and other mammals are likely to have rabies on their bodies. If they scratch or bite gently, it may cause us to break down, and then we will be infected with this rabies virus. Therefore, when raising kittens or puppies, you must give them rabies vaccinations.
