Long story short, I’ve just got back from abroad and while I was there I got bitten by a lion. It’s not a serious bite but it did break the skin. The bite was on Monday, it’s healing nicely and there’s no sign of infection but do I need to do anything? Tetanus jab etc.? I gave it a wash at the time but haven’t had any medical attention.

NC’ed cos this is pretty identifying but I’ve been here yonks. Poo on the pouffe, garlic thread worms, pan pipe elf mum, minge etc.

I was chased by a goose once.

You need the rabies vaccination course and it has to be started ASAP. and probably antibiotics too. Please get this sorted OP, rabies is horrendous.

Also, you can overlap in tetanus injections and it won't cause a problem, unlike not keeping the jab up to date. When I was at the hospital, they couldn't find anything in my records to show if I was up to date or not, and due to various house moves, half my records were missing, so I had the jab to be on the safe side.
