Worried about small cat bite

[Matthew1233]

My cat bit my and left a small punture, a little bit of blood was drawn from the skin. I immediantly cleaned it with soap and hot water. I got a tetanus booster in 2014. Just worried about infection

I've been through this panic when my husband got bitten. I sent him to the GP, who laughed (politely) in his face.

Keep it clean, apply antiseptic and don't worry about it unless it swells right up.

I have added tea tree oil and some creamy thing on it, I instantly washed it too, also have a plaster. Just dont want to try and panic as it as I am graduating today. What about rabies?

What about rabies?

The UK has been rabies-free since the beginning of the 20th century. Congrats on graduating!

Doesn't exist in the UK, end of.

Thank you, just worried about tetanus (got booster in 2014) or serious infection or sepsis.

Sorry you're still worrying. Congrats again on graduating!

Not a nice feeling currently

That's nothing. I was scratched and bitten by cats multiple times and didn't have tetanus booster and never even had a slight infection let alone something more serious

My cat is constantly scratching and biting me, drawing blood. It never occurred to me to worry about it. I just put some neosporin on any of them that look swollen or red
