    1. Do I need to be vaccinated if I am bitten by a rabbit?

    Due to the improvement of the national economy, people have begun to pay more attention to their health. In real life, there are many people who are anxious about getting rabies after being bitten by a rabbit. In fact, according to current indicators, the risk of rabies transmission after a rabbit bite is very small, and rabies vaccination is usually not required.

    However, bites, scratches, or self-wounds that come into contact with animal blood are all susceptible to infection, so caution is still required after being bitten.

    In addition, the first report of the WHO Expert Consultation on Rabies clearly states that "specific anti-rabies post-exposure prophylaxis is rarely required after exposure to rabbits and hares." "And, to date, there is still no conclusive evidence of rabies in humans caused by rabbit bites.

    Furthermore, rabbits do not carry the rabies virus themselves. The main carriers of rabies virus are wild carnivores, including dogs and cats, unless rabbits are bitten by unidentified dogs and cats carrying rabies virus. It is worth noting that in artificial experiments after multiple injections of rabies virus in rabbits, it was found:

    Generally, rabbits will develop paralytic rabies and die within 3-4 days. Infected rabbits will have symptoms such as head tremors and paralysis of hind limbs, and are no longer able to transmit the virus to humans. Therefore, under normal circumstances, there is no need for rabies vaccination after being bitten by a rabbit.

    Should I be vaccinated if I am bitten by a rabbit? I'll tell you the truth, not many people know the answer.

    2. What are the correct ways to deal with a rabbit bite?

    1. After being bitten, if the bite does not bleed, but only breaks some skin, wash it several times with soapy water (please note that it is soap, not soap).

    2. If there is bleeding after being bitten and the wound is very deep, then it is necessary to do a good job of cleaning and disinfection of the wound. Squeeze the wound with your thumb and forefinger to squeeze the blood out forcefully, repeating several times. Then, it is repeatedly washed with medical alcohol.

    3. After thorough cleaning, apply a medical cotton dipped in 2% iodine to the wound, and then wrap it in gauze.

    4. If the wound is large and deep, and the bleeding does not stop after taking emergency rescue, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time. In addition, due to the different constitutions of individuals, the degree of acceptance of injury is also different, if you feel very unwell, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time.

    3. What is the correct way to raise rabbits?

    Rabbits should be kept indoors as much as possible, and if rabbits are raised outdoors, rabbits should be placed in cages and the cage doors should be closed to avoid rabbits running out and biting others. Rabbits should be kept in sight of the keeper at all times when outdoors to ensure that the rabbit does not come into contact with suspicious animals. It is also necessary to ensure the health of the rabbit and ensure that the rabbit has not been bitten by other animals.

    All in all, rabbits themselves do not carry the rabies virus. Therefore, there is no need to worry about inducing rabies and there is no need for rabies vaccination. Of course, after being bitten by a rabbit, you should not take it lightly, and you should treat the wound in time and be alert to wound infection.

    If the wound is large, it is recommended to go to the hospital for professional treatment, so that it can be truly reassured.

    After being bitten by a rabbit, everyone generally thinks about whether to get a rabies vaccine, because theoretically all mammals can be infected with rabies and can transmit rabies. Rabbits can actually be infected with rabies, and they can also transmit rabies, and the original rabies vaccine was to get the rabies strain through rabbit experiments, and then get the rabies vaccine. But in reality, rabbits have very little chance of contracting rabies, and even less chance of transmitting rabies to humans.

    From all over the world, there are no cases of rabies transmission in rabbits, so whether it is the official recommendation of the World Health Organization or the guidelines in China in 2016, it is believed that rabbits, rats and other animal bites do not need to be vaccinated against rabies. In addition to this, any animal bite, if the wound is deep, can be infected with tetanus, and tetanus immunoglobulin is required. If you have received a tetanus vaccine before, you can get a booster shot of tetanus vaccine to prevent tetanus infection, and there is no need to get other vaccines.

    If you are scratched by a rabbit, do not vaccinate.

    If a person is scratched by a rabbit, he will not get rabies, so he does not need to be vaccinated against rabies, because there is no rabies virus in the rabbit, but after being scratched by a rabbit, the wound still needs to be treated as necessary, because there will be a lot of bacteria on the rabbit's paws.

    If not treated in time, it may cause wounds and even systemic infections, so if you are bitten by a rabbit, you should use water or soapy water in time to thoroughly clean the wound, and squeeze out the dirty blood, and then use iodophor or alcohol for local disinfection to prevent bacterial infection of the wound.

    Precautions for being scratched by rabbits

    After being scratched by a rabbit, if there is a break or bleeding, squeeze the blood from the wound outward. Then rinse the wound with running water for more than 30 minutes. Wash the wound with soap and then disinfect the wound with 75 percent alcohol.

    If alcohol is not available at home, iodophor can also be used for wound disinfection.

    If the patient's wound is deep, the hospital can be considered for debridement, disinfection, and tetanus antitoxin if necessary to prevent tetanus bacillus infection.

    After being bitten by a rabbit, you generally do not need to get a rabies vaccine, but you can get a tetanus vaccine.

    Rabbits are rodents, whether they are domestic rabbits or hares, they are not the hosts of rabies virus and do not carry rabies virus. Rabies vaccination is not required for rabbit bites, and large-scale testing of wild and domesticated rodents by the World Health Organization (WHO) has shown that rabies infection is rare.

    The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also noted that no evidence of rabies caused by unformed animals has been found. After being bitten by a rabbit, the wound can be debrided to avoid infection. If the wound is too large or too deep, tetanus prophylaxis is needed.

    The guidelines on post-exposure prophylaxis of rabies clearly state that specific anti-rabies post-exposure precautions are rarely required after exposure to rabbits and hares.

    Things to look out for when raising rabbits

    Rabbits have a very thick coat and their sweat glands are not very developed, so they emit very little heat on their own. Therefore, rabbits are very resistant to cold, but they are never suitable for growing in a relatively humid and hot environment. Especially in the hot and sultry summer, if the temperature is not well controlled, then the rabbit is very susceptible to illness, and in severe cases, it will lead to death.

    Therefore, we should pay attention to controlling the temperature, and the suitable temperature for raising rabbits is generally about 20 degrees. If the temperature is too high, it will cause the rabbit to eat less, resulting in malnutrition, reduced production capacity, etc.

    After being bitten by a rabbit, you generally do not need to get a rabies vaccine, but you can get a tetanus vaccine.

    Theoretically, mammals, including rabbits, can be infected by the rabies virus and spread rabies. In real life, rabbits have very few chances of being infected with rabies virus, and they are less likely to transmit rabies virus to humans.

    At present, there are no cases of rabies virus transmission in rabbits in the world, so the medical community generally believes that after being bitten by rabbits, it is possible not to inject rabies vaccine. However, if the wound of the animal bite is deep, it is possible to be infected with tetanus, and tetanus immune globulin injection is required.

    Perform a cleanup

    Many families are raising cute little animals, which not only provide fun to their children's lives, but also accompany their children's growth. But animals are untamable, and even a small rabbit may bite if a child pushes it too hard. If you are bitten by a rabbit and bleed, you should also pay attention to it, and if it is not handled properly, it is likely to cause serious consequences.

    If you are bitten by a rabbit and bleed, you should first clean it up in time to avoid wounds or infections. At the same time, it is also necessary to avoid rabies contained in animal saliva from entering our human blood, so after being bitten by a rabbit, you should go to the bottom of the faucet in time to rinse, and you can also use some soapy water to clean. If there is iodophor at home, it is best to disinfect it with some iodine wine.

If you are bitten by a rabbit, you do not need to be vaccinated. Vaccines are generally not given after being bitten by rabbits, because the disease commonly transmitted by rabbits is tularemia, on the one hand, there is currently no vaccine for tularemia, and on the other hand, rabbit-borne tularemia is mainly transmitted through arthropod bloodsuckers such as ticks and lice, or aerosols, droplets, etc. Bite is not the main route of transmission, so the chance of contracting tularemia through bites is relatively small, and there is currently no vaccine to be injected, so there is no need for vaccination. >>>More
