What are the chances of rabies being scratched by a dog

Hello, according to the description, your symptoms, can not be sure if it is an infection. The guidance recommends going to the hospital for an examination and determining the specific situation before proceeding**. The probability of infection is not very high. I wish you good health.

The incidence of rabies bite in humans is about 15 30; If the wound is treated promptly and the rabies vaccine is given, the incidence can be reduced to about one. After a person is injured by an animal with rabies, the rabies virus enters the body through the damaged ** or mucous membranes, travels along the nerve tissue to the brain, causes illness, and finally dies due to respiratory and circulatory failure. The answer to the question of whether rabies can also occur after a person is bitten by a healthy dog, is yes.

In recent years, many areas in China have carried out the investigation of healthy dogs, and the results are: the rate of domestic dogs is generally about 10 30; Even dogs that have been vaccinated against rabies have 4 percent of dogs carrying the virus. Therefore, after being injured by a normal and healthy dog, we believe that it is necessary to vaccinate against rabies for the sake of safety.

The incubation period of rabies fluctuates the most, from 6 days, 12 days to 1 year or more than 5 years, with the shortest 6 days, the longest up to 10 years, and even very special 30 to 40 years. According to statistics, the incubation period of about cases is 12-99 days. Because there is no effective method for people to have rabies, almost all people die after the onset of the disease.

Therefore, rabies prevention is key. Once bitten by a cat or dog, the following comprehensive measures should be taken: 1. Remove the virus in the wound in a timely and thorough manner.

Rinse the wound repeatedly with plenty of water, 20 pieces of soapy water, or a new gel, and then disinfect the broken area with 3 iodine and 75 percent alcohol. 2. Anti-rabies serum or rabies immune globulin should be used within 24 hours after the bite. Serum or immunoglobulins neutralize the invading rabies virus in the body, inhibiting its spread and prolonging the incubation period.

3. Safe and efficient rabies vaccine should be injected immediately and throughout the whole process, which is the only effective measure to prevent and control rabies. During the vaccination process, even if there is some local or systemic reaction, the vaccine should be continued while symptomatic**. The incubation period of rabies fluctuates the most, from 6 days, 12 days to 1 year or more than 5 years, with the shortest 6 days, the longest up to 10 years, and even very special 30 to 40 years.

According to statistics, the incubation period of about cases is 12-99 days. The only effective way to prevent rabies is to get vaccinated against rabies. Those who are mildly bitten by dogs need to receive 5 shots of rabies vaccine (full immunization); If you are bitten by a dog again within one year, you need to get a booster dose of rabies vaccine for 1 shot; If you are bitten by a dog again after one year of full immunization, you should be boosted with 2 or 3 injections.

Severe bites or in exceptional circumstances should be handled at the discretion of a CDC physician.

Well, the virus is invisible, and it is better to go to the hospital for injections.

It's good to get vaccinated, don't worry too much, pay attention to it in the future, I wish you a speedy **.
