    Regular** + urban domestic cats + no contact with unknown** animals + the bite is slight and far away from the head and neck, you can not be vaccinated + ten days of observation. If there is any abnormality, go to make up the first shot. (Basically, there will be no anomalies, and it is written out of rigor).

    If you are bitten and bleeding by free-range cats (mostly in rural areas and college campuses) and wild cats, make up the first injection + 10 days of observation, and stop the injection if there is no problem. (Wild cats cannot be observed and must be fought).

    It means that after being bitten by a cat or dog, the first injection will be given during the observation period, and if there is no abnormality in the biting cat, the injection will be stopped.

    Treatment: 1. The wound must be strictly disinfected, generally with hydrogen peroxide and normal saline, after repeatedly cleaning the wound, and then applying iodine tincture. It is important to note that there is a high chance that rabies virus and tetanus bacilli may be hidden in the cat's paws, so try not to dress the wound.

    Because these two viruses are mainly anaerobic bacteria, it is difficult for them to grow and multiply on wounds that are easily exposed to oxygen. Therefore, avoid dressing, so that the wound is exposed to more oxygen and prevent infection of these two viruses.

    2. You must go to the hospital for rabies vaccination to prevent rabies virus infection.

    3. If the wound is deep, it is also recommended to inject tetanus antitoxin to prevent tetanus bacillus infection.

    Cats often lick their paws, so it is also possible to have rabies virus in their paws. The survivability of rabies virus in vitro is extremely weak, and all saliva is inactivated when it is air-dried.

    It must be a mad cat (accounting for 10,000 percentiles) in the onset period who has just licked its paws, and the tip of the nail is scratched quickly when a small amount of saliva is not air-dried, so it is possible to be infected, so cat scratch infection cases are extremely rare.

    Rabies is usually transmitted to humans from bites or scratches from other infected animals, and the virus enters the body from the wound and travels up the nervous system until it infects the entire central nervous system. The disease occurs in both wild and domestic mammals.

    The rabies virus, which is present in animal saliva, can be transferred to the human body through bites, scratches, or other wounds that can destroy** and allow saliva to enter the body. Early symptoms are usually vague but can include: fever, headache, sore throat, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, stinging pain at the bite site after the wound has healed, and itching, anxiety, and difficulty sleeping.

    As the virus progresses, the symptoms become more distressing until death occurs.
