First clean the scratch with soap and water then disinfect it with rubbing alcohol or even hand sanitizer. Lastly, I know you're scared to tell your parents, but you should tell them just incase. I would rather get in trouble with my parents then having a slight possibility of getting rabies causing you to get a long needle injected into you.
it depends on the cat i guess if it looks like it has many injuries and a bit dirty u might i guess but if it doesnt the chances will be low
Same thing happened to me i just dipped my hand in dettol
If its a stray and you were bleeding then you must take a rabies vaccine to be on the safer side. Its better to get in trouble with parents once rather than taking the risk.
There’s also something called cat scratch disease, not as severe as rabies but more common and not that fun so definitely tell your parents. They should call the doctor and ask if you need to come in for a rabies shot. Clean the area well and watch out for any signs of redness or swelling, and go in to the doctor immediately if you start feeling unwell or get a fever.
ok so i got poked/scratched by a stray cat on the hand and it was bleeding- im kind of scared because i might get rabies and i don’t want to tell my dad or mom cus they already warned me about it— should i be worried??
