Since the monkey's teeth touched your skin without blood, the risk of rabies transmission is low but not zero.

Recommendation

Monitor for symptoms: Watch for signs of rabies, such as fever, headache, or numbnesstingling around the wound.

Consult a doctor: Visit a doctor or a hospital immediately to assess the risk and determine if post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is necessary.

PEP might be recommended: Depending on the doctor's assessment, you might receive rabies immunoglobulin and a series of rabies vaccinations as a precautionary measure.

TT injection: Since you've already taken the TT (tetanus toxoid) injection, you're protected against tetanus.

I've had man boobs since I was 18 and now I'm 22. At first I thought they'd go away on their own but they haven't, even with regular chest workouts. My nipples are puffy and an awkward shape which makes me think it's gynecomastia. I also have thyroid issues - could that be causing this? What's the best treatment option, medication or surgery?

It's possible you have gynecomastia, and your thyroid issues could be contributing. While it can be common for breast tissue to enlarge during puberty, if it persists into your early twenties, it's important to consult with a doctor. Your doctor can assess your specific situation, including your thyroid condition, and recommend the best course of treatment, which may include medication, liposuction, or surgery
