Question 1

I've just been bitten by a cat, but luckily it didn't break the skin. There's just a small, light mark on my leg. I got a tetanus shot about three months ago, so I'm wondering if there's anything else I need to do. Should I be worried or do anything specific now?

Lab tests (urine or blood) offer higher sensitivity, but HPTs are a great first step.
