I'm trying to figure out the best way for adults to do deworming and how often it should be done. Should everyone in the family go through this even if nobody's showing any symptoms?

Question

I'm really concerned about keeping things that come into my home virus-free. I've got an alcohol-based sanitizer and I'm thinking about diluting it with water to spray on groceries and packages. Do you think this would actually work to kill any virus on those items? And if so, what would be the ideal ratio of sanitizer to water?

Question

I was bitten by a dog that hadn't been vaccinated on August 5th and I got the RabiPure rabies vaccine from a local physician right away. She told me to come back in 7 days for the next dose, but I went to my family doctor instead and found out that I missed the second dose. What should I do now?

Question

I got a small cut on my left hand from the corner of my belt's buckle, which is made of steel. It was bleeding a little bit and the cut isnt very deep. The last time I had a tetanus shot was in August 2019, then before that in February 2019, and before that one in August 2018. I havent had any cuts needing a tetanus shot since then. Do I need to get another tetanus shot for this cut? How long do these shots usually protect you? Is getting one tetanus shot a year enough?
