I ve been bitten by the kitten for more than ten days, and the wound is still itchy

The following text comes from an authoritative expert on rabies: Professor Zu Shuxian.

1 Healthy dogs do not carry the rabies virus and therefore do not transmit rabies. Therefore, the instructions for various rabies vaccines clearly state in the article "Vaccination Target" that it is used for people who have been "bitten or scratched by rabies or other mad animals", rather than referring to healthy dogs. If you have a lot of rabies in your area, you can also get a pre-exposure vaccination as a precaution, which is another matter.

Some people may say that we check the rabies virus positive rate of 10 or 30, it is a "superficially healthy" dog, it may be in the incubation period or the early stage of the disease, and foreign books also say that dogs and cats detoxify their saliva just a few days before the appearance of neurological symptoms? This statement is also difficult to explain. Even in endemic areas, it is unlikely that such a high proportion of dogs are infected with rabies, which does not explain the fact that rabies occurs sporadically.

2 If you are scratched and bitten by your own or neighbor's healthy dog or cat, you can rest assured that it is still healthy and healthy for 10 days. Some questioners said that he or she had been exposed for months or more or had been scratched and bitten by a dog or cat, and that the animal was fine, so there was no need to worry and not to be vaccinated. If it is a stray dog or the dog that bites you has run away and does not know the condition of the dog, please go to the CDC immediately for consultation.

3 Based on now reliable studies and published by the World Health Organization, the accepted maximum incubation period is 6 years. In the past twenty or thirty years, the book has not been accepted because of the lack of rigorous evidence. In the future, it is also possible for rabies patients to prove that their incubation period is more than 6 years, but only if there is conclusive evidence and it is recognized.

Some people ask questions that have little to do with the incubation period, but whether you have been bitten by a rabid animal?

4 Finally, please remember the fact that there are almost no reports of rabies in our cities, especially in large cities, and even if there are, only a handful. But this is not to say that the dogs and people in the city have special immunity, but because the current conditions do not meet the ecology of rabies, in layman's terms, there are no conditions for the transmission of rabies.

This is one of the important principles of epidemiology. In fact, any place that can create an ecology that is not conducive to rabies like a city is to keep dogs in yards and get vaccinated against rabies. It can be done with hard work.

Vaccinated, it's rabies.

If the wound is not properly treated, it may be itchy, red and swollen. If that's the case, you can paint a little more than 100 bangs.

If the wound is well treated, it shouldn't swell, so don't worry, it's just growing new meat

There is often an itchy sensation when the wound is about to heal

It's okay, the itch means that the wound is healing.

Injections should be given immediately after being bitten.

Rabies is transmitted through saliva, not by "scratching".

If you're worried about yourself, you can get a rabies shot.

It is also very irresponsible to say that cats have rabies for no reason; A cat does not get rabies for no reason unless it is bitten by a dog that has rabies. It is normal for stray cats to have a strong sense of human aggression. You should be patient with him, and over time he will be more relaxed.

Normal dogs and cats (according to the literature, a considerable number of normal dogs and cats have rabies virus in their saliva) should not rush to the hospital to find a doctor for treatment, but should immediately, on the spot, and thoroughly rinse the wound. In case you can't find a water source, you can even rinse it with human urine instead of clean water, and then try to find a water source.

Flush the wound one is to be fast. Every second counts to flush out the rabies virus from the wound as quickly as possible. Because after a long time, the virus enters the human tissues, invades the central nervous system along the nerves, and kills people.

The second is to be thorough. Because the wounds of dog and cat bites are often small on the outside and deep on the inside, this requires that when rinsing, try to expand the wound as much as possible, let it be fully exposed, and squeeze the soft tissues around the wound, and the amount of water to be flushed should be large, and the water flow should be rapid, and it is best to rinse it with water from the tap urgently. Third, the wound should not be bandaged.

Except for individual wounds that are large and hurt blood vessels and need to stop bleeding, generally do not use any drugs and do not bandage, because the rabies virus is anaerobic, and in the absence of oxygen, the rabies virus will grow in large numbers.

After repeated irrigation of the wound, it should be sent to the hospital for further wound irrigation (remember to wash the wound carefully in the hospital), and then the rabies vaccine should be given. In particular, it should be pointed out here that after being bitten by dogs and cats, the wound should not be treated in any way, and the mistake is that not only the wound is not washed, but the red potion wrapped in gauze is more harmful, and it is important not to travel long distances to rush to a big hospital for treatment, but should immediately, on the spot, thoroughly rinse the wound, and inject rabies vaccine within 24 hours.

Animal scratches and bites should be rinsed with tap water as soon as possible, and the blood should be squeezed out as much as possible and then cleaned with alkaline soap.

1.If you are not scratched, you are fine, if you are scratched or bitten by a cat or dog, as long as the ** mucosa is scratched and bitten open, even if there is no bleeding, the wound should be treated immediately, and the bleeding will squeeze out part of the blood first.

2.If there is bleeding, squeeze out part of the blood first, and if there is no bleeding, rinse it directly with soap and water for 15 minutes, and then go to the epidemic prevention department to inject the vaccine within 24 hours.

3.Rabies is transmitted through saliva, not by scratching, if you are worried about yourself, you can go for rabies vaccination, it is very irresponsible to say that cats have rabies for no reason.

4.Cats don't get rabies for no reason, unless they are bitten by a rabies dog, and it's normal for stray cats to have a strong sense of human aggression. You should be patient with him, and over time he will be more relaxed.

5.Do not rush to the hospital to find a doctor for treatment, but should immediately, on the spot, thoroughly rinse the wound, in case you can't find a water source, you can even use human urine instead of water to rinse, and then try to find a water source.

6.After a cat bite, the wound is not treated in any way, but is coated with red syrup and wrapped in gauze is more harmful, do not travel long distances to a large hospital for treatment, but should immediately, on the spot, thoroughly rinse the wound, and inject rabies vaccine within 24 hours.

If you are not scratched, you are fine, scratched or bitten by cats and dogs, as long as the ** mucosa is scratched and bitten, even if there is no bleeding, the wound should be treated immediately, the bleeding first squeezes out part of the blood, and the non-bleeding is directly rinsed with soapy water for 15 minutes after the operation of Likang disinfection, and then within 24 hours to the epidemic prevention department to inject the best vaccine, after the vaccine is also half a year of prevention.

If you are scratched by a cat, you should go to see if you have rabies.

Definitely going to fight? Don't take chances now! Regret it when the time comes!

If you have not been disinfected on the day, it is recommended to get vaccinated.
