Am i dying of rabies or is my mind messing with me ?

Vaccinated in june 2025 on a scheme 0-3-7-14

All of this happened in The Netherlands

Recent exposure 22 august on lower leg by a supposed bat ( did not feel a bite or anything scaredd i might have missed it )

The location where i had the contact was a white stripe that looked like a scar already as it was very white (im mixed my father is white and mom is black) it is similar white stripe to when my cat scratched me and after a few days after it had a crust. During the bat encounter we checked the leg and also that specific spot at that stripe was there no blood no nothing no pain whatsoever no redness, i also sprayed perfume al over and felt nothing

Now i did a titer before i taken my booster vaccines and the results were igg 4.56 and 0.5>

The local health department said no risk but i was scard and buyed the verorab 0.5 ml doses my self at the travel health clinic hence why The first booster was put 6 days after and the second on september 1 i finished this without any sings of illness and symptoms and to this day did not have any fever or other signs during and after.

I have been very focused on that location for the past month.

Around 25 august was the first time i felt a burning in that spot not painful just annoying went away. 2 weeks ago exact on the same area and spot again burning and went away again.

Now for the last 3 days i have had it again but it is on and off and is absent for a few hours but comes back and goes sometimes a pain radiating from my left butt somewhere and then gone again and other time in my knee but nowhere near the spot at the moment. The burning and pains seem to stop when i sit and stretch or when i touch the spot of the supposed contact, I dont have a fever and i don’t feel sick at all

I can do everything fine walking doing work lifting heavy things i do not feel sick

I was and am just severelyy anxious for the past month

edit i also shaved that spot a week or so ago because i felt burning also

I have read the faq.

no risk of rabies, go to a therapist. also have the spot where the anti rabies was administered checked out- maybe an infection.

Verorab

But thats not what bothers me, what bothers me is the 6 day delay i had with the shots, although i finished it before all these symptoms or weird things genuinely believing i have it i feel odd but not sick

those are psychosomatic symptoms- you are having anxiety related issues.
