Is it okay if I get bitten by a white mouse and bleed?

In life we ​​often joke that I won’t keep you as my guinea pig. I’ll come when you are ready. From this we can see that the guinea pig refers to the first person to try it. Those who have read experimental books will also find that many experiments are done using mice as examples. The little white mouse looks small and has no harm value, but it will bite if you provoke it. Is it okay if I get bitten by a white mouse and bleed?

It is unlikely that mice will be infected with rabies. If you are still worried, you can get a rabies vaccine to prevent it. Rinse the wound repeatedly with soapy water and running water for at least fifteen minutes and then disinfect it with iodine. If the wound is deep, you can get a tetanus shot once. You can also consider getting a hemorrhagic fever vaccine at the local epidemic prevention station.

Human diploid cell rabies vaccine is a freeze-dried powder injection. my country started developing human diploid cell rabies vaccine in 2004.

In 2017, my country's first freeze-dried human rabies vaccine with independent intellectual property rights was launched on the market. Both the refined VERO cell rabies vaccine for human use and the refined hamster kidney cell rabies vaccine are slightly turbid white liquids. Currently, dsRNA with a length of more than thirty can cause interferon toxicity, which is a global risk. It will form a shaken precipitate after being stored for a long time and contains thimerosal as a preservative. The vaccine is quite effective in preventing wound infection.

There are two types of vaccination targets:

One is post-exposure prevention (after bites or scratches), and the other is pre-exposure prevention (without bites or scratches).

⑴ Prevention after bite (exposure). Anyone who is suspected of having been exposed to the rabies virus, such as being bitten or scratched (even lightly) by animals such as dogs, cats, foxes, wolves, skunks, raccoons and vampire bats (including seemingly healthy animals), or having broken skin or mucous membranes licked by animals, must be vaccinated with this vaccine.

⑵ No bite (pre-exposure) prevention. Workers who are at high risk of being bitten or have the opportunity to come into contact with the virus in the epidemic area, such as veterinarians, animal husbandry managers, livestock workers, slaughterers, rabies virus experimenters, vaccine manufacturers, medical staff of rabies patients, cave workers, as well as people who have frequent contact with other mammals, children in severely epidemic areas, postmen, and tourists to epidemic areas, should all be vaccinated with rabies vaccine.

Wound management

(1) Cleaning and disinfecting the wound promptly on the spot (preferably within a few minutes after the bite) is very important for preventing rabies. First wash with 3%-5% soapy water or 0.1% chlorhexidine and then wash thoroughly with clean water; for deeper wounds, use a syringe to reach deep into the wound for irrigation and cleaning, making sure it is comprehensive and thorough. Disinfect with 75% ethanol and then apply concentrated iodine tincture. The sooner the local wound is treated, the better. Even if it is delayed for 1 to 2 days or even 3 to 4 days, local treatment should not be ignored. If the wound has scabped at this time, the scab should be removed and treated according to the above method.

(2) Wounds should not be bandaged or sutured, and open wounds should be left exposed as much as possible. If the wound must be bandaged and sutured (such as invasion of large blood vessels), it should be ensured that the wound has been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected and anti-rabies serum has been used as described above.

(3) Use antibiotics or refined tetanus antitoxin when necessary.

(4) For those who are severely bitten, anti-rabies serum should be injected around and at the bottom of the wound, or rabies immunoglobulin should be used.

(5) If the immune effect

The preventive effect of this vaccine is mainly indicated by the neutralizing antibody level and protection rate. For the first immunization, neutralizing antibodies appear 7 to 10 days after vaccination, and a protective level can be achieved after 5 injections (required ≧0.5IU/ml). The antibodies last at least half a year. If a person is bitten again six months after the full vaccination, he or she should undergo full vaccination again.
