"Bitten or Scratched? Here's Why You Shouldn't Ignore It"

 Animal Bites - What You Need To Know:

Animal bites are more than just surface wounds: they can lead to serious infections, especially if the animal is unvaccinated or unknown. One of the most concerning risks is rabies, a deadly virus that affects the nervous system. Rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear.

 When to Seek Medical Attention:

• Bite or scratch from a stray or wild animal
• Animal acting strangely or aggressively
• Deep wound, bleeding, or puncture
• No prior rabies vaccination

 What to Do Immediately After a Bite:

• Wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water
• Apply antiseptic
• Cover the wound with a clean dressing
• Seek medical care as soon as possible

 Why Rabies Vaccination Is Critical:

The rabies virus has no cure once symptoms appear. However, the virus is 100% preventable with timely vaccination. The rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) includes a series of rabies shots that must begin as soon as possible after the bite.
