About rabies. I was bitten by a dog eight years ago and am scared now. Can you get rabies?

First of all, the rabies vaccine is no longer useful.

Secondly, the incubation period of rabies is normally 20 days to 90 days, and a small number of it is more than one year, and it is generally believed that the incubation period of rabies patients at home and abroad will not exceed three years. (The fastest record is currently 3 days.) The longest record is 19 years, which is of course an example).

There are reports that the incubation period is 30 years, but this is not yet recognized, because it cannot be ruled out that this person was later bitten by a dog, and it was not caused by being bitten by a dog 30 years ago.

All in all, you were bitten eight years ago, and now you are not dead, so the possibility of you getting rabies has basically been ruled out, so don't worry, it will be fine, I was also bitten by a dog when I was in the fourth or fifth grade, and I didn't dare to tell my family, I was worried all day long, and I was going to die like this, so a year or two has passed, and now that I think about it, I was really speechless at that time. Hehe, don't worry, it's okay, eight years have passed, you're fine.

Hello, Caused by a rabid dog bite, it is a disease with irritability, fear of wind, fear of water, photophobia, spasmodic convulsions, and eventually paralysis and life-threatening diseases. The incubation period of rabies fluctuates the most, from 6 days, 12 days to 1 year or more than 5 years, generally within 2 weeks to 3 months, 99% of the onset within 1 year, 1% of the onset of more than 1 year, but in fact, more than 1 and a half years are already very rare, the longest incubation period is 6 years, WHO has actual verification and proof of two 6-year medical records, China's so-called very special up to 30 to 40 years of no conclusive evidence. If a person is bitten by rabies and does not take preventive measures in time, some people will develop the disease more than a decade later, but there is still a lack of scientific evidence for reports of the onset of the disease decades later.

In addition, scientists are already studying some neurotoxins that can be used to cause diseases caused by viruses such as rabies virus that parasitize the human nervous system.

The rabies vaccine should be given 1 injection intramuscularly on the first day, for a total of 5 injections. 0 refers to the day of the first injection, and so on. If antirabies serum is needed, it is best to use it the day before or on the day of the vaccine.

Rabies vaccine and serum should be injected in a timely, full-course and sufficient amount, and the earlier the injection time is from the bite time, the better the prevention effect.

The incubation period of rabies has been reported to be up to more than 30 years, and you can get an antibody test before deciding whether to get vaccinated.

If you haven't been vaccinated at the time, you may have.
