    I’m not worried about rabies, I’m worried about tetanus or other bacterial infections and yes, I’m going to rinse the wound but I’m not going to risk it.

    Nurse. Shot. Easy.

        Lol. I am vaccinated, but what the fuck do I remember when I got it? It wears off. (And I think if you ask 99% of people, their response would be similar, so this generalizes as good advice.)

        You can lose your fingers within hours of a cat bite. I don’t think it makes me a hypochondriac to follow the literal, recommended health guidelines of an industrialized country, but either way, better safe than sorry.
