A member asked:
Family dog licked an open wound on my hand. he is vaccinated for rabies and isnt acting rabid but my mind keeps thinking way if he has rabies and im starting to have frequent panic attacks. am i crazy what do i do?

Pre-occupied=yes, crazy=no. Vaccinated family dogs don't get or pass rabies. Their saliva can have regular germs and the wound deserves a good clean out and monitoring. Panic attacks are not a normal go to activity. Find a life coach that can teach you relaxation and stress management.

No risk for rabies in above context. The wound should be watched closely otherwise until healed as superficial infections remain possible.
