Do you really know about rabies?
Most people who suffer from rabies have pets at home. This is not shocking. The probability of being bitten by a domestic dog is greater. We all know that it is not intentional. I just grabbed the toy in Yiyi's mouth in the process of fighting with Yiyi. I played too selflessly. I accidentally scraped a layer of skin on the side of the fangs. At that time, the amount of bleeding was quite large.
Pathology of rabies
Rabies virus basically exists in the cerebrum of the animal, a large number of virus are contained in saliva, so cut is licked also can affect rabies virus; The virus enters human body, along all round afferent nerve and reach central nervous system, because this head, cervical, upper limbs wait for a place to bite with cut area big and deep person morbidity opportunity is much.
Symptoms of rabies
Rabies has a incubation period, usually 1-3 months, sometimes less than a week or more than a year before morbidity, the longest incubation period is 6 years;
Under what circumstances should I be vaccinated?
There are three grades:
The degree of scratch on my hand belongs to Grade 2 exposure, and I only need to be vaccinated against rabies and treat the wound by myself; (no immunoglobulin is needed)
Where can I get rabies vaccine?
Now our country attaches great importance to rabies, basically in the street community health centers can be played, of course, the major hospitals are necessary, or very convenient, I am in front of the community health centers to play the vaccine, after all, the earlier the better, the distance is close to deal with fast;
Price of rabies vaccine ¥ 270
Many people will not vaccinate because of the high price or trouble. I think money is really a trivial matter in front of life. The average is ¥ 54 per injection, and the total of 5 injections is about ¥ 270;
In case of Grade 3 exposure, one dose of immunoglobulin needs to be injected, ranging from ¥ 300-400, depending on the region;
How to vaccinate? How to deal with the wound?
1. Wash the wound with soapy water. It is required to repeatedly wash and apply soapy water for 15 minutes;
2. Vaccination is divided into 5 times, the first injection: after biting/the second injection: every other 3 days/the third injection: every other 4 days/the fourth injection: every other 7 days/the fifth injection: every other 14 days; about 1 month after complete vaccination; each time after vaccination, the nurse asks you to stay in the hospital for observation for 30 minutes before leaving, be sure to leave enough time.
It is normal for your arm to be sore and red after vaccination. The doctor will remind you not to take a bath in the near future and not to touch the wound with water. Note: Do not drink, strong tea, chocolate, cola, coffee, spicy food, do not exercise intensity;
Ten-day observation, does it work?
Alleged day observes a law, the dog that bites a person inside seeing 10 days namely has death, wild dog rises morbidity to be able to die necessarily inside 10 days, actually this 10 days observe a law is to observe this dog whether morbidity, that also is to want to vaccinate wild dog vaccine during this, and rather than do not vaccinate to oneself look for excuse, if died inside 10 days, that your very big odds has infected virus.
Vaccine aging and expiration date
People often say that rabies vaccine is effective in 24 hours, not absolutely, in fact, there is no 24, 48, 72 statement, as long as there is no morbidity, the vaccine is always useful, the earlier the more effective, as soon as possible!
One last word.
Pet owners are bound to get scratched and bruised, and we all know they don't mean to. A better way to reduce the risk of rabies is to vaccinate dogs regularly every year. Secondly, we all want dogs to accompany us for a longer time, provided that we are healthy and put our lives first.
