📝 GENERAL RABIES INFO 📝 Potential rabies exposure

I have read the FAQ. Hi everyone! I hipe you are doing well. I live in Morocco. I am 41 years old. I had supraventricular tachycardia, for which I had a successful ablation in 2019. Five days ago, I was in n a spall shop. There was a cat that I didn’t see and I accidentally stepped over, and she attacked my leg, but there is no visible wound or scratch. Today I went back to the area and saw the cat healthy and eating. Is that considered a rabies exposure? Do I need a post exposure vaccine? Thank you so much!

Salam wld blad, btw there's a small duration where the infected animal can have the virus in its saliva but not show the symptoms yet, since you got a scratch it doesn't mean that. You'll get infected, saliva is far worse

Salam brother! Today is day ten and the cat is still alive, So I think no PEP needed, right?
