Patient's question:
What should I do if I was bitten by a mouse? A lot of blood came out. I bought medicine. Do I need a vaccination? Past treatment history and effectiveness: I saw a doctor. What kind of assistance do you need: I want to know if there will be any aftereffects.Doctor's answer:
If dogs, cats, wolves, mice, etc., bite or scratch, as long as the skin is indeed unbroken, it is very difficult for the rabies virus to penetrate the body through intact skin. However, if there are bite marks on the skin, it cannot be taken lightly. Sometimes, although there is no visible skin damage, the bite marks may indicate skin damage that is difficult for the naked eye to detect. In this case, the rabies virus may enter the body through the bite marks. Immediate sterilization should be applied to the bitten area. Thoroughly wash the bitten area with soapy water and apply iodine. Then, receive the full course of rabies vaccination.
