What to do if bitten by an Irish Setter
When bitten by an Irish Setter, first immediately wash the wound repeatedly with soapy water, disinfectant or just water for no less than 15 minutes. If the wound is deep, use a syringe to inject and rinse repeatedly for at least 30 minutes. If the wound is serious and cannot be treated by yourself, you need to go to the emergency department of the hospital in time to have the doctor perform sutures or other treatments. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a course of rabies vaccination. If someone is accidentally infected with rabies virus, the mortality rate can reach 99.9%. If you are vaccinated, you should avoid bathing temporarily to prevent bacteria from entering through the needle site and causing infection.
Precautions for rabies vaccination:
1. During the vaccination period, do not drink alcohol, strong tea or coffee, and do not eat irritating food, such as Chili peppers, onions, garlic, etc.
2. Do not participate in too strenuous exercise or engage in heavy physical labor to avoid excessive fatigue.
3. For rabies vaccination, you must go to regular hospitals and disease control centers with rescue equipment. Once allergic reactions occur, you can get timely rescue.
