[|Human|] I was bitten by something over two weeks ago during sleep outside, and it had two fang-like impressions with a small gash about .75cm long. There was little to no pain, bleeding, or swelling. I worry about bats and small animals now that I am suffering itching sensations and slight tingling two weeks later after the wound has healed. I just chalked it up to the fact that I could have scratched myself when a bug bit me, but now I worry about rabies and that it could have been a bat or some other small rodent. Also, a year ago after sleeping in the same place(on vacation), I had a bloody wound on my ankle after waking up one morning. What are the chances that I could have contracted rabies, and is it too late for prophylaxis after two weeks and two days?
[|AI|]  Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Usually dog bite can cause rabies. Rabies by bats and other animals are rare. As two weeks is already passed there is no need to worry now. But for the peace of mind you can go for vaccination. But if you are worrying about the rabies you can start the vaccination after two weeks also. It will give you protection after this time also. Please take good care of the wound. Regular Chat Doctor. You can take oral antibiotics, analgesics and healing enhancers that can be helpful in the wound healing. You can take this under your doctors' guidance. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/
