I ve been bitten by a white mouse for many years, do I still need to get a rabies vaccine now?

The rabies incubation period is only a few days, and you are fine now, indicating that there is no contagion. So there's no need to fight.

It's too late for you to hit now.

There's no need for that.

Hello, If you are bitten by a rat, there is no vaccine to be given, because rats will not transmit rabies, but because rats can transmit many other infectious diseases, such as epidemic hemorrhagic fever, plague and other more serious infectious diseases, the case fatality rate is very high, so if you are bitten by rats and bleed, you must clean the wound immediately. You can use water or soapy water to wash the wound thoroughly, and then squeeze out the dirty blood from the wound, and then use iodophor or alcohol to disinfect the wound thoroughly.

Rats bite and need to be vaccinated.

Because mammals such as cats, dogs, bats, and rats can all carry the rabies virus.

Therefore, after being bitten and scratched by a rat, the virus contained in the saliva can enter the body through the wound, and once infected with the rabies virus and suffering from rabies, the mortality rate is almost 100%, so after being bitten by a rat, the rabies vaccine should be injected within 24 hours, and the sooner the injection, the better.

Methods of exterminating rats:

1. Physical methods.

Household rodent control should try to use physical methods rather than chemical methods, such as using rat traps, rat traps, and sticky rat boards to trap them. If caught, you can drown or pat the rat into the water, but be careful not to touch the rat directly with your hands, as they have a lot of parasites on their body.

2. Rodenticide.

Professional rat catchers generally use rice-soaked rice as rodenticide, and after the rats eat it, they will not die immediately, and will not start to attack until they drink water. Rats that have been dosed will lose their vital signs within three or four days.

3. Biological rodent extermination.

Cats are the natural enemies of mice, and raising a cat can solve the problem of mice, but we must pay attention to the need to raise cats that can catch mice, and cats that can't catch mice can't reach the biological method of exterminating mice.

4. Environmental rodent extermination methods.

Regularly carry out environmental cleaning, carry out environmental sanitation cleaning, remove weeds around the house, random stacked items, often clean indoor and outdoor hygiene, and clean up all kinds of utensils and sundries, so as not to create a living environment for mice. This is also the way to carry out effective rodent extermination.

Rats usually do not need to be vaccinated, but the wound should be carefully rinsed and disinfected, and if the bite is severe and there is a deep wound, tetanus immune globulin and tetanus vaccine are required.

Compared with cats and dogs, rats carry a lot of various bacteria and viruses, and it can transmit various bacteria and viruses such as hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, rat bite fever, typhus, tetanus, leptospirosis, etc.

After being bitten by a rat, the wound should be washed alternately with soapy water (or other weak alkaline cleaning agent) and flowing water at a certain pressure, so that the direction of the water flow is at a certain angle to the wound surface to improve the irrigation effect and reduce the tissue damage caused by the washing, and then rinse the wound with normal saline to avoid soap or other cleaning agent residues.

After rinsing thoroughly, rub the wound with alcohol, iodine-containing preparations or other **mucosal disinfectants with virus inactivating effect to reduce the probability of infection with bacteria and viruses.

Rats can theoretically be infected with rabies and can also transmit rabies, but there have been no cases of rat transmission of rabies worldwide, and general guidelines consider rat bites not to require rabies vaccination unless there is a specific reason for doing so.

Although rats can transmit hemorrhagic fever, it is too late to be vaccinated against hemorrhagic fever after bite, and hemorrhagic fever vaccine cannot be prevented after drug exposure. If the bite is severe, deep wounds, tetanus immune globulin and tetanus vaccine are required.

Need.

Rat-bitten people need to be vaccinated, usually against rabies and, if necessary, against tetanus. Patients should strictly follow their doctor's instructions when taking medications.

1. Rabies vaccine. After being bitten by a rat, you may be infected with the rabies virus, causing rabies, and the fatality rate of rabies is close to 100%, so rabies vaccination should be given to prevent its onset. Generally, one injection is required on the day, the third, seventh, fourteenth, and twenty-eighth days after being bitten by a rat.

2. Tetanus vaccine. If there is an open wound after being bitten by a rat, especially if the wound is heavily contaminated and the wound is deep, there is a risk of tetanus infection, and the tetanus vaccine should be given. Tetanus antitoxin or tetanus human immunoglobulin are usually used.

If you are bitten by a rat, you should seek medical attention in time.

Being bitten by a rat can have several consequences:

1. If the wound is infected, the wound needs to be cleaned in time and disinfected with iodophor or medical alcohol.

Second, rodents are likely to carry rabies virus, if there is bleeding from the wound, it is necessary to inject rabies vaccine in time after repeated cleaning.

3. According to the depth, size and degree of contamination of the wound, ask the doctor to determine whether it is necessary to inject tetanus antitoxin.

Fourth, rodents are the source of epidemic hemorrhagic fever infection, and if conditions permit, they also need to be injected with hemorrhagic fever vaccine.
