A member asked:
I was lightly scratched by some monkeys jumping up my legs on koh phi phi thailand last week. did not break the skin. should i get a rabies shot?

Rabies: Usually there is an open wound that risks for rabies infection. If skin did not break thru, you can probably observe without symptoms. If scratch was severe, see your doctor in person to check and decide if a course is warranted.
