There are two types of scratches by dogs: one is primary exposure and the other is secondary exposure. First degree exposure is when an ordinary domestic dog licks your finger, just skin mucous membrane contact can be washed off with water. Secondary exposure is when a dog bites you and requires you to first rinse with running tap water and then a weak alkaline soap solution, and to get a rabies vaccination at the hospital as soon as possible.
