How long after a very minor cat scratch am i safe from getting csd? the scratch happened 2 days ago and has already totally healed.

10 days: You are probably not infected. If you are, a small pimple will appear at the site. This will occur within 10 days. You are already healed and most people require no treatment anyway.
