I've got this little situation where my puppy, who's just a stray and about one and a half months old, accidentally nipped my thumb while I was feeding him. It wasn't a deep bite, just caught me for a split second, but it did break the skin a bit and I noticed a tiny bit of blood. It's been about 23 hours now, and there's no pain or bleeding anymore. I washed the area really well and put some antibacterial cream on it right away. Should I be worried about getting an injection for this, or am I good? Just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing here.

I'm a big fan of pork and eat it quite often. Recently, my biology teacher mentioned something about helminths and suggested that people who love pork should consider taking albendazole, although I'm not entirely sure if that's how you spell it. Should I be taking this too? If so, how many tablets should I take, and when should I be taking them?

I'm looking at my blood report and I'm seeing a few things out of range, like my total leucocytes are at 3.83 which seems low, and my neutrophils are 34.9 and there's something going on with my lymphocytes at 56.7. Also, my basophils and monocytes' absolute counts are not within the normal range. I've also noticed that the mean corpuscular hemoglobin and the MCHC are a bit off. I had a fever not too long ago and still have mucus in my throat. I'm starting to worry because I read that these symptoms could be related to typhoid. Do you think it's possible that I have typhoid, or is there something else going on?
