Had a dog bite a long time ago but never took rabies treatment?
Don't assume that a healed wound means the risk is gone.
An old or untreated bite still deserves proper medical assessment. The need for rabies PEP depends on factors such as the exposure, animal involved and previous vaccination history.
Don't wait for symptoms. Don't rely on home remedies. Get the exposure assessed by a healthcare professional.
