Now, it is becoming more and more popular for home pets. Among them, the cute "dog people" and "cao people" are highly favored. However, during the amusing process, it is inevitable that you will be scratched and bitten by your pet. Whether to get rabies vaccine just by breaking the skin or having some blood marks has made many citizens very confused.
Ms. Zhou wandered around the entrance of Daliang Hospital for a long time, but finally chose to register. When she said she was scratched by a cat, the registration staff decisively checked her in an emergency room. At that time, she felt a sudden slap in her heart and began to feel frightened because it was more than a week ago to be scratched.
Sure enough, when Ms. Zhou told the doctor about the situation, the doctor frowned and said that the effect was definitely not as effective as the vaccine injection immediately after scratching, but rabies has an incubation period, so it is more guaranteed to carry out vaccine prevention. Finally, the doctor asked Ms. Zhou to choose whether to take the vaccine.
Ms. Zhou, who had already checked the dangers of rabies online before going out, did not think much and firmly replied that she wanted to get an injection. However, she was a little confused, but she had some blood marks and she didn’t have a lot of blood. She was also a kitten she had raised at home. Do she need to get rabies vaccine?
In this regard, the emergency surgeon of Daliang Hospital explained that it is not necessary to prevent the epidemic because the bite is not necessarily a large wound. If you are scratched or scratched with blood marks from your teeth, you may be infected with the virus. "If you have licked your wounds by stray cats or stray dogs, you may be infected with the virus." The doctor reminded again that if there is a bite or scratch, you must rinse it with soapy water or alcohol as soon as possible, and then apply iodine to disinfect it.
In addition to Ms. Zhou being accidentally scratched by a cat or dog, many people also did not realize its severity. The young man standing next to him said, "My hand is often scratched by cats. I have never been vaccinated with rabies, isn't it good?" The doctor said that the incidence of real rabies is not high, and only one out of 10,000 people may be infected. "For Ms. Zhou's minor scratching situation, the probability of illness is about 0.01%. But the doctor also said that rabies cannot be cured at present. Moreover, everyone has different physical constitutions and the length of incubation period is different. "The early stage is the same as usual. Once you have symptoms, the whole person will be almost incurable."
It is understood that after being violated by the rabies virus, you are in a state of high excitement. When drinking water, you hear the sound of running water and are stimulated by sound, blowing wind and light, which can cause spasms of the swallowing and respiratory muscles, causing swallowing and breathing difficulties. The doctor said that a rabies patient he handled died after being bitten and lived for only more than 10 days. "It is recommended that citizens get vaccinated with rabies within 24 hours after being scratched or bitten by cats and dogs."
Introduction to the nurses in the muscle injection room of Daliang Hospital, more than 20 patients will come to get vaccinated with rabies every day. "The cost of rabies vaccine is not cheap, it costs about 400 yuan at a time." Therefore, citizens should be reminded to inject pets in time and have a certain sense of self-protection when getting along with pets on weekdays.
