Is It Necessary To Take Anti-rabies Shots After Stray Cat Bite?
is it necessary to take anti-rabies shots? I was fishing in a pier and a stray cat ate my bait(hook and line), I pulled the line until it broke -off. Unknowingly, I tied another hook on the line and licked the line to moisten it before cinching the hook. I remembered too late and I spat out for a few seconds. Do I need an anti-rabies shot?.. Thanks.. 39yrs old, 5 6 ,250lbs, asthmatic(seasonal) but with an anti-tetanus vaccine for 5 years(Got the shots recently).
