Can I still go to the gym while I'm getting anti-rabies treatment? A dog bit me, and I've finished 2 days of the vaccine, with 2 more to go. Is it okay to continue my workouts and take whey protein during this time? Would love your advice.

  1. Physical Activity:

    • Moderate exercise, like gym workouts, is generally safe during anti-rabies vaccination if you feel well and have no side effects such as fever or fatigue.
  2. Whey Protein:

    • Whey protein supplements do not interfere with the vaccine's effectiveness and are usually safe unless you have allergies or kidney issues.
  3. Monitoring Symptoms:

    • Listen to your body. If you experience severe fatigue, swelling, or allergic reactions, avoid strenuous exercise and consult your healthcare provider.

Overall, maintaining a balanced routine with moderate exercise and proper nutrition is acceptable during your vaccination period. Always prioritize your health and consult your doctor if unsure.

Hey, I just had a weird experience where a mouse bit my finger. There wasn't any visible cut or bleeding, but it felt like it pinched. There's a small bump now and I'm not sure if it's related to the bite. I washed it thoroughly with Lifebuoy soap for a couple of minutes, used Dettol, and even applied extra Dettol on the spot. I got an anti-tetanus shot last year and a rabies booster just a couple of months ago, so I'm curious if I'm still at risk for anything like Hantavirus since there wasn't a clear break in the skin. Just wondering if there's anything else I should do. What are your thoughts?

Since there was no visible break in the skin or bleeding, the risk of infection (including rabies and hantavirus) is significantly lower, You're well-protected with your recent anti-rabies and tetanus shots. No additional doses are necessary unless advised by a healthcare provider. if area becomes red or swollen or painfull then consult a doctor

I'm really worried because my 60-day-old puppy just bit me and left a scratch on my hand. There's a little bit of bleeding too. He's not vaccinated yet, so I'm not sure what steps I should take right now. Can you give me some advice on what I should do?
