How to do when bitten by a dog

First, don't panic, calm down, wash the wound immediately after being bitten, and wash it thoroughly on the spot, otherwise it is easy to get infection.

Second: the blood on the wound can be squeezed out before washing to prevent canine bacteria and other toxins from entering the skin. Repeatedly wash the wound with strong soapy water, and then rinse with clean water. Rinse with water with larger flow. After washing with soapy water and clear water, dry the wound, apply 5% iodine on the wound, and burn the wound. This is to remove and kill the canine virus that pollutes the wound.

Third: rinse with iodine or alcohol, do not bandage or daub drugs to facilitate wound detoxification. After half an hour, go to the hospital as soon as possible. Regardless of the depth and size of the wound, be sure to give yourself rabies vaccine in the hospital.
