I'm really concerned about this habit I've developed of inserting my finger into my anus. I did it yesterday, and a couple of hours later, when I did it again, I noticed this slimy, jelly-like stuff on my finger. There's no blood, pain, or any other symptoms, but this always seems to happen when I do it again soon after the first time. Is this slime supposed to be there? Does the fingering cause it? I've read online that other people who've done anal fingering have noticed it too, so is it always present? I really want to stop this habit, and I'm feeling worried. Please guide me on what to do.

Rabies Vaccination and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)
Timing of Vaccination
- Immediate vaccination recommended: The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends immediate vaccination after exposure to rabies, ideally within 24-48 hours.
- Vaccination during incubation period: If vaccination is administered during the incubation period (before symptoms appear), it can still be effective in preventing rabies.
Your Situation
- Delayed vaccination: You received vaccinations 6-7 years after the initial exposure.
- Multiple vaccinations: You have taken a total of 17 vaccinations from 2008-2016.
Reassurance and Recommendations
- Low risk of rabies: Given the long incubation period and the fact that you have not shown any symptoms, the risk of rabies is low.
- No need for further vaccinations: You have already received multiple vaccinations, and further vaccinations are unlikely to provide additional benefits.
- Consult a doctor for reassurance: Schedule a consultation with a doctor or a rabies expert to discuss your concerns and receive reassurance.
- Address anxiety and depression: Consider seeking professional help to manage your anxiety and depression related to the fear of rabies.

I've been dealing with ongoing diarrhea for the past couple of weeks. It's strange because I'm not getting dehydrated or feeling tired, but when the abdominal pain hits, I have to rush to the restroom. I've noticed that sometimes the stools are loose, but not always; they're mostly normal. I've tried taking Lomofen tablets, but they don't seem to make a difference. Could you help me understand what's going on?
