If a person is bitten by an animal, first of all, it is necessary to wash the wound repeatedly with running water or soapy water immediately, rinse the wound surface with animal venom as much as possible, and then rinse it with iodine or iodophor to expose the wound. After the wound is cleaned, it should be timely injected into the local epidemic prevention station or the nearest hospital to prevent rabies attacks. If the wound is bitten seriously, it is also necessary to hit immunoglobulin. During the wound recovery period, we must pay attention to observe whether the wound has infection, eat light food, so as to facilitate wound recovery.
