Hello, it is my first post here. I am 18 years old and from the Philippines where rabies is still quite a problem.
So, hello. I havent really visited a psychiatrist but I know that I may have OCD or an anxiety disorder. I have the symptoms. However, I can handle it more than before through self help.channels and reading recovery forums.
Here is my story. 4 years ago, I was walking in our street when I saw a stray dog munching on some garbage inside a plastic bag. The dog doesnt really look rabid to me. However, on my way back home I accidentally stepped onto the same garbage bag and a few liquid went to my foot. I went to our house and washed it away.
Then I was extremely anxious on getting rabies through that incident. First, the skin may have micro wounds where the saliva may enter. Rabies may also not be prevalent in the dog but I think its possible that the dog has it in the early stage of the disease so its not very visible. Ive read in the internet that there are cases wherein rabies symptoms showed up years after exposure to it. I havent went to a doctor to talk about this yet. I have had fever and even dengue in the past 4 years.
I thought I am already moved on from this fear but last week, I suddenly had fever. Now, I.can feel some sensations in my foot and Im afraid that this is rabies finally showing up. What do i do
