Only dogs that have been suffering from rabies will get rabies if they lick an obvious wound. The dog licked the wound also need to be divided into cases will not get rabies. 1. First of all, if the dog already has rabies and is licked to the skin, and the skin is not broken in any way, it will not be infected with rabies 2. If the dog already has rabies, humans who come into contact with the blood and feces of a sick dog without a wound will not be infected, and no precautions are needed. 3. Rabies is rapidly inactivated in the normal environment and will not be transmitted between saliva-licked objects. 4. Rabies virus is not airborne. Emergency rinsing with soapy water after being licked by a dog Whether or not the dog that licked the wound has ever had a rabies vaccination, the wound must first be rinsed thoroughly. 1. First, rinse the wound extensively with water and do not touch it with your hands or other parts to avoid bacteria. 2. Wash the wound with 20% soap and water (soap is also acceptable) or disinfect with iodophor again. Do not bandage the wound, but keep it exposed and inject rabies globulin or serum by intramuscular infiltration around the wound to neutralize the rabies virus. 3. Repeat 1.2 actions for at least 15 minutes to ensure 1.2 actions are crossed, rinse with soap, then rinse again, then soap again. 4. Go to a hospital or immunization department for vaccination. Bites, scratches, licks, etc. by animals depend on the rabies exposure level If you are in an infected area (all of China is an infected area) and are bitten, scratched or licked by rodents or rabbit-like animals, etc., and you also observe disease or abnormal behavior in these animals, please still take appropriate measures according to rabies exposure. class I exposure: There was contact with the animal, but your skin is intact and No injuries. Class II exposure: A light bite on bare skin or a minor scratch or abrasion without bleeding. In simple terms, this means that you are injured but not bleeding. (When it is difficult to determine the subtle wounds with the naked eye, you can wipe the break with alcohol, if there is pain for grade II, no pain for grade I, can not be determined counted as grade II. (It should be noted that this method is only applicable to cause wounds at the time of use.) Level III exposure: single or multiple penetrating skin bites or scratches; or broken skin licked; or open wounds, mucous membranes contaminated; exposure to bats. That is, there is bleeding injury or mucosal contact. (In addition, WHO recommends that bites that occur in nerve-rich areas such as the head, face, neck, hands, and external genitalia are also considered Class III exposures.) Simply put, you only need to determine your exposure level based on your actual condition, whether your skin is broken, whether there is bleeding, and whether there is contact with mucous membranes.
