Could I have been bitten by a rabid cat?

Again, @alekss, I cannot stress this enough. You need to go ASAP. Today would be good. Yesterday would have been better. Yes rabies can take a while to develop, but the post-exposure vaccine needs to be administered as soon as possible if its going to work. The longer you wait, the more likely the vaccine will not work, and you will be dead dead dead, and dead in a really unpleasant way.

They won't even bother to test you. If you go and say I was bitten by a wild cat and the cat escaped, they will immediately start you on the vaccination course.

It's 7:12 PM here. I'll go tommorow as I said.

Why let a thing like possible death ruin your dinner plans! :D

Seriously. Go now.

@soap: where's Price?

@alekss: THIS IS NOT A JOKE! Please go to the hospital right now. It is not something to put off till tomorrow. GO DIRECTLY TO THE HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW!

@Alekss YES! GET CHECKED NOW! GO TO THE ER OR EVEN CALL 911!!! ONCE RABIES STARTS SHOWING SYMPTOMS YOU ARE DOOMED TO AN EXCRUTIATING AND HORRIBLE DEATH!!! SOME STRAINS OF RABIES HAVE AN INCUBATION PERIOD OF ONLY A FEW DAYS! EVERY SECOND COUNTS! GO NOW!!!!!

This is the guy who cleaned his ear with a match all over again.

@Alekss: Do not fuck around with rabies. Get to the ER NOW. The people in this thread aren't just fucking with you; if you delay any longer you very well could die if the vaccine doesn't work in time.

Naw guys, he was really looking forward to that hot pocket, and he has early tickets to the Oz: The Great And Powerful movie tomorrow. He'll just go on Monday. Maybe the week after.

I remember that. What the fuck was that all about? Who does that? I was also imagining that guy trying to light the match after by sticking it in his ear and trying to strike it outwards.

No, that would be stupid! It could already be to late now let alone tomorrow! You will call 911 and request an ambulance NOW!!! I am seriously worried about you!

Most patients also receive a treatment called human rabies immunoglobulin (HRIG). This is given the day the bite occurred.

Call your doctor right away after an animal bite or after being exposed to animals such as bats, foxes, and skunks. They may carry rabies.

• Call even when no bite took place.

• Immunization and treatment for possible rabies are recommended for at least up to 14 days after exposure or a bite.

There is no known effective treatment for people with symptoms of a rabies infection.

As I said, I will go tommorow. I rememeber the match guy, and yes you were dicks to him (you seem to have chased him away, so congrats. Why exactly am I being compared to him when I said I will go tommorow (aka in about 14 fucking hrs) I don't know, but whatever.

I thank you those that convinced me to go, as for the others enjoy shitting on me I guess. I am done with this thread. It's almost 8 PM so I will go to bed because I am really tired ( because I worked, not because of rabies) and I will go tommorow as I said.

The ones that get some morbid pleasure for telling me to die and stuff like that keep doing it, I'm your new match guy I guess because I don't fit the norm. I have to say I do find it funny how you quicly turn on someone and suddently want him dead. Anyway, see you tommorow (I expect this thread to be filled with people shitting on me).

NO ONE WANTS YOU TO DIE WE ARE TRYING TO POSSIBLY SAVE YOUR LIFE!

DO NOT WAIT TILL TOMORROW! 14 FUCKING HOURS COULD MEAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH! THIS IS NOT A JOKE!

GO NOW! PLEASE!

PICK UP THE PHONE AND DIAL 911!!!

man, these threads where someone has something horribly wrong with them and then decides to not go do the obvious thing immediately always puts my "is this a troll thread or just really dumb" detector way out of wack

look guys i just wanted to tell you i justified the wood stick pile in my backyard you don't have to be jerks about it

OP was never heard from again....

@Alekss Once more. Please, I am begging you. Call emergency services if you have not done so already. May God bless you.

yes its very posible

In all honesty his threads WERE kinda fucked, and not in a good way.

Can't this guy read properly? Nobody said they WANTED him dead, but that he COULD very likely die. WTF? This is totally like that match in the ear guy, but even worst. This is no joke, especially since he already waited this long (why he did baffles me.)

I'm kind of speechless.

DO NOT FUCK AROUND WITH POSSIBLE INFECTIONS OR YOUR HEALTH. YOU CAN DIE.

I am going to a friend's wake TOMMOROW. An abcess in his leg muscle spread and it fucking killed him stone dead. Antibiotics and multiple surgeries couldn't save him. Mid 20's. It can fucking happen to you.

Guy makes thread asking if he could potentially have a serious issue.

People tell him its serious get it checked out.

Refuses.

So uh what was the point of making this thread again? Nothing apparently.

Well, at least you have plans to get it checked at some point soon. I'd be a lot more worried if you were refusing to go at all. In the future, make sure to go immediately if you're attacked by an animal. Waiting and dying is generally not recommended.

@genocidalkitten: if i were a feline perpetrator of mass murder (such as yourself), i don't know if i would be hanging out in this specific thread.

This dude.

Then again, if this guy actually became rabid, that would be awesome. A bit like the infected from 28 Days Later or the Miami Zombie. We'd totally get some badass footage of this guy trying to sink his teeth into someone's carotid. At least before the cops show up and put a few rounds into his rabies-infected brain stem.

This thread wins the internet

Also I seriously thought the topic was called " Could I have been Killed by a rabid Cat?" had to do a double take when I misread it, Anyways go get yourself checked as soon as you can, or if you become a zombie just give us a heads up. i'd appreciate it

If I become a zombie I promise I'll eat you alive slowly and painfully.

@alekss: Oh, you're awake already? Well, off to the hospital with you! Scoot, now. On you go.

It's 2:02 AM, the buses travel at 5. Just went to the bathroom and wanted to check the thread and surprisingly not as much hate stuff as I thought (although I bet that will change).

Back to bed I guess.

Edit: TNT is on, never mind

I think we're being trolled.

I'm going to need to know the cats name before I offer any advice.

Why? because I don't magically fly to the hospital in the middle of the night? If you really wanna know, the reason I'm not worried is because I can't see how a few hours will make a big difference.

If the virus is already too advanced for the shots to work, then it would have been like this even if I went today, and if it will work, then I don't think 3-4 more hrs will change that. If it doesn't work then you can all rejoice when the virus is eating my brain and especially when it hits the centers of pain and I die a slow horrible death. I highly doubt that will happen tho since rabies can usually be cured with no problem after only a week, this is why I'm not afraid. Also there's a high chance the cat doesnt even have rabies.

Alright, I am done, I have tried enough, when you find out you are dying maybe you will realize how stupid you have been.

Or you are trolling, in that case good job you got me.

@jking47: As I said to the other guy, what do you want me to do? I live in a village an hour away from the city by bus. You want me to call an ambulance, what? Put it like this, by the time TNT is over I will be close to leaving.

Where do you live? South Africa, Eastern Europe?

Romania, eastern europe. The shots should be free so that won't be a problem. As I said, a few more hrs.

That's good to hear. Just go as soon as possible and let us know how things went if you don't mind.

Hey, would you mind livestreaming your death after the doctors tell you it's too late to treat you? I'm sure there are tons of people who would find it very interesting.

Okay, just get it done. Cats that attack are probably not in their right mind, a real bad start right there. Could be it was a female with a litter nearby, but that is reaching. My brother was harrassed by a wildcat for probably just that reason while camping, but it never really got too close.

If this is on the level, then my best

Yes it could be a rabid cat and yes you should get it checked out asap. Kinda baffling that you didn't go right away.

Also, be prepared for a shitload of shots. Just getting bit by a bat gets you like 10 incredibly painful shots. This cat tore the shit outta you, you'll be getting stabbed all day.

Hold up, before you go to the doctors. Could you go into greater detail about how you beat it with a piece of wood? I know it was attacking you, but what made you decide to use a piece of wood?

It's going to be so fucked up when this guy dies of rabies.

Seriously, one webcam, one locked room, one rabid human. You'll get tons of views, just like that guy who was dying of cancer.

@alekss: Do you mind if I ask you to tell what the doctor said after you've gone? I really want to know if all this hubbub was for naught.

What is it with Romanians and refusing medical help?

Both this guy and Match Ear are from Romania.
