Question

I'm really worried because I was bitten by a dog and someone mentioned it could be rabid. How long should I be on the lookout for symptoms of rabies to show up? I've heard it can vary. Can you tell me what the shortest and longest time frames usually are for most people?

Loose and painful testicles can be concerning. Possible causes: 1. Varicocele (enlarged veins) 2. Hydrocele (fluid accumulation) 3. Epididymitis (inflammation) 4. Testicular torsion (twisted spermatic cord) Nutritional deficiencies are unlikely to be the primary cause. The urologist's assessment and echo test results suggest no underlying structural issues. However, to alleviate symptoms, consider: 1. Wearing supportive underwear 2. Applying warm compresses 3. Managing stress 4. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle Schedule a follow-up with your urologist to re-evaluate and address any concerns.

Then, at one month, I took an HIV Tridot and syphilis test, both negative. At 75 days, I repeated the HIV Tridot and Syphilis VDRL tests, and they were also negative. I took the HIV Tridot and Syphilis VDRL tests again on January 30. Those came back negative too. Is the HIV Tridot test accurate after 82 days? I'm really anxious about this...

I'm really concerned about the type of mask I should be wearing in public. Is a surgical mask necessary, or is a simple cotton washable mask enough to protect against viruses? Also, does hand sanitizer really kill viruses effectively?
