Last week when I was in my yard a cat attacked me and started biting and scratching my hand. I freaked out and took a piece of wood and started hiting him and after about a minute he got weak and I threw him over the fence and he took off (limping because of the hits he took).
Both my hands were full of blood and I had some pretty deep cuts and bites (including a bite that pulled a bit of my flesh from one of my fingers). It's been a week since then and my wounds have closed, although a liquid still flows from them ocasionally.
After hearing the guys talking about flesh eating bacterias and the like on bombcast I started worrying if I took some disease from the cat. It's obvious I didn't get mrsa, but I am worried I might have gotten rabies. As far as I know rabies doesn't mean the animal will be that agressive out of the blue necesarily, but still...
The incubation period for rabies on humans is 3 to 8 weeks from what i read. Do you think I should get checked?
