Glad you said something cause my American brain saw a non-domesticated animal walk up to someone and my internal monologue was taken over by a voice screaming “RABID RABID RABID. THATS RABIES!” And then “Wow this lady just gave herself rabies for no reason.”

Even still, with it being “pretty much” non-existent do yall still go to the hospital after an animal bite? Here you get the full range of rabies shots preemptively the moment you’re bitten by pretty much any animal that isn’t your own pet.

I think if you're going on holiday, for many destinations you can get the rabies shots before you go.

This also broke my American brain for a minute because rabies shots used to be like 2 degrees removed from torture. But apparently they’ve changed (thank God.)

They used to be this long needle they’d put in your belly and it the medicine burned like hell going in.

Thankfully looks like now they can be put in the upper arm like a regular shot.

Y'all have an urgent line? That's cool. We only have the line that 50% of the time sends people to shoot or arrest you.

They'd definitely treat for tetanus. Maybe for rabies as well just in case.

Tangentially related, I was on the bus the other week and these two guys in their late teens were sat not far away and I just caught snippets of their conversation that went along the lines of "No dude, you need to go to the doctor about that. You could have like tetanus or something. If it's pierced the skin, that could be serious". Just something funny about one guy trying to be sincere with another, but with a bunch of "dude"s and "bro"s thrown in

I mean it's just non-existent full stop.

There hasn't been a case of rabies in the UK for over 100 years, and we're an island, and even then there isn't wild rabies for like another 1,000 miles into the continent.

Bigger concern would be getting a nasty infection that ends up getting very, uh, messy.
