Can kissing spread rabies 3 hours after being bitten by a cat?

Hello, it is recommended that you do not do this and should immediately go to the epidemic prevention station to receive the vaccine. I know that the rabies vaccine is effective for 12 hours. It doesn't seem to be spread through saliva, it's mainly blood.

When a person is bitten or scratched by a host animal such as a dog or cat, the injured part should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected immediately. Local wound management is better as soon as possible, and wound management is not recommended if the wound has crusted or healed at the time of presentation.

a).Wound management.

Wound management, including thorough irrigation and disinfection, is important to prevent the occurrence of rabies. First, the mechanical force of water irrigation can help reduce the amount of virus residue in the wound. More importantly, the rabies virus is sensitive to lipid solvents (soapy water, chloroform, acetone, etc.), iodine preparations, and quaternary amine compounds. Therefore, thorough wound irrigation and disinfection greatly reduce the risk of infection in exposed individuals.

1.Rinse thoroughly.

Rinse the wound thoroughly with soapy or clean water for at least 15 minutes.

2.Sterilization.

Rinse thoroughly and rub the wound with 2-3% iodine or 75% alcohol.

3.Wound treatment after irrigation and disinfection.

1) As long as the large blood vessels are not injured, try not to suture them and do not bandage them.

2) If the wound is large or the facial injury affects the face, and it is really necessary to suture, after debridement and disinfection, animal-derived antiserum or human immunoglobulin should be used for infiltration injection around the wound to infiltrate the tissues to neutralize the virus. Sutures and bandages are repeated after a few hours (not less than 2 hours); In large wounds, a breathable dressing can be used to cover the wound to avoid secondary infection. If necessary, the sutures should also be loose and sparse to facilitate continued drainage.

3) Patients with deep wounds and serious contamination should be treated with anti-tetanus treatment and antibiotics as appropriate to control the infection of other pathogenic microorganisms.

4.Go to the hospital as soon as possible for further treatment.

No, and I didn't get sick, but it's best to get vaccinated early

There are about 40 to 50 fatalities from cat bites in the country every year.

Deaths from cat bites are mainly due to infection with the rabies virus, which then leads to the onset of rabies.

After being bitten by a cat, it is necessary to squeeze out the wound with blood, then wash the wound with running water and soapy water, and disinfect it with iodine. And go to the CDC within 24 hours for a combination of rabies vaccine and rabies immune globulin.

Prevention of rabies.

The most effective and cost-effective way to prevent rabies is to immunize animals such as cats and dogs. In particular, animal immunization, free rabies vaccination for pets, and good control of the source of infection. It is hoped that through multi-sectoral collaboration, rabies will be eliminated as soon as possible.

Rabies is preventable and incurable, and eradicating rabies requires the participation of the whole population. What citizens can do is to raise pets in a civilized manner, such as vaccinating pets against rabies every year, not deliberately provoking cats and dogs, and leashing dogs when walking dogs.

Perhaps, after being bitten by a cat, the bleeding should first be considered for their own safety, and go to the designated hospital for rabies vaccination, because the cat itself carries bacteria, not necessarily without rabies virus.

Yes, if you are bitten, you will.
