🚨 A Dog Bite Isn’t Just a Wound—It Can Be Fatal!
If you or someone you know is bitten by a dog, cat, mongoose, or any mammal, immediate action is crucial. Waiting for symptoms to appear can cost a life.
🛡️ What to Do Immediately (First Aid)
* Wash thoroughly: Clean the wound right away with plenty of soap and running water for 15 to 20 minutes.
⚠️ When is the Danger Highest? (Category 3)
Seek urgent medical attention if the bite involves:
* Flesh tearing or direct contact with blood
* Bites on upper parts of the body (hands, chest, neck, or face)
> Crucial Note: Category 3 exposures require Rabies Immunoglobulin immediately alongside the vaccine. Do not delay—once symptoms of rabies develop, it is almost 100% fatal.

🏥 Next Steps
* Go to the hospital immediately and consult a doctor.
* Do not wait or rely on home remedies. Time is critical.
