Why a simple Dog or Cat Scratch can put you at risk of Rabies! 🐾
Did you know that even small scratches from dog/cat can expose you to rabies!
Rabies is transmitted thru saliva
Dogs and cats lick their paws.
Any cuts on non-intact skin will risk rabies and tetanus exposure
Scratches in the Face and Neck area are the most dangerous!
This poses the highest risk for rabies due to its close proximity to the brain.
When the virus reaches the brain it's already too late to prevent rabies.
Be informed, and take rabies prevention seriously ⚠️
✅ Wash the scratch with soap and running water immediately. Apply an antiseptic like Betadine.
Seek immediate medical care and complete the anti-rabies vaccine schedule
