Should I be concerned about rabies from 13 years ago? In 2004 I was waiting on an Amtrak train and saw a stray kitten. I held it because it was cold. It may have scratched me or bitten me, I don't remember but I didn't seek treatment.
I was walking around my neighborhood and a dog jumped on me. I don't think I was bit, and I didn't see any bite marks. It's possible that I was scratched but I didn't see any scratches when I got home. Any reason to get rabies PEP treatment?
