In case of being bitten, you can use soap solution or iodine disinfectant for disinfection, which is safer. 4. When the bite is severe, such as heavy bleeding, you must go to the hospital for treatment immediately to avoid the possibility of rabies.

What to do if you are scratched by a cat and bleed

1. When you are bitten by a cat and bleeding, you must wash it with plenty of water as soon as possible, and ask a friend for help. Squeeze out the cat's saliva in the wound, repeatedly apply alkaline soap, and repeatedly wash until the wound turns white. Don't make it too painful. The heavier and more thorough the wash, the better. Finally, apply ichthyol on the wound.

2. If the bleeding is serious, you must go to the hospital for treatment immediately after cleaning and check the severity of the wound.

3. If you are not sure whether the cat that bit you has been vaccinated, for safety reasons, you must go to the hospital for a rabies immunoglobulin injection to kill the infected rabies virus. You should also have regular check-ups to prevent any accidents.

4. If you are bitten by a cat, even if you have rabies, it will not show symptoms immediately, because rabies has a certain incubation period. For your own health considerations, when you are bitten by a cat and bleed, it is recommended to go to a professional hospital for treatment to ensure safety.

What to do if you are bitten by a centipede

1. Tie up immediately

Tie a tourniquet five to ten centimeters above the proximal end of the wound. If there is no tourniquet, you can use a pure cotton towel, handkerchief or torn cloth tape instead. The compress should not be too tight, and should be able to pass through one finger. The degree should be enough to block venous and lymphatic return without hindering the circulation of arterial products. It is sufficient to release the pressure once every two hours. The previous concept was to relax for 30 seconds to 1 minute in 15 to 30 minutes. Clinically, it depends on the specific situation. If the affected area swells and expands rapidly, it is necessary to check whether it is tied too tightly. The binding time should be shortened and the relaxation time should be prolonged to prevent tissue necrosis.

2. Clean the incision and suck moderately

Immediately wash the wound and surrounding skin with cool boiled water, spring water, soap solution or 1:5000 high manganese potassium aqueous solution to wash away the venom on the wound surface. If there are fang remains in the wound, they should be picked out quickly with a fruit knife or other sharp objects such as broken glass lenses. It is best to sterilize them with fire before use. Make a cross cut with the tooth mark as the center, deep into the subcutaneous tissue, and then press repeatedly from the proximal end of the body to the wound and the wound periphery to promote the venom to be discharged from the cut wound to the outside of the body. While pressing, rinse the wound with water. The cleaning and pressing of the body to detoxify should last for 20 to 30 minutes. In the future, if you carry a cup with you, you can use cupping to treat the wound. First, light a small ball of paper in the cup, and then quickly put the mouth of the bottle on the wound, so that the mouth of the bottle is close to the skin around the wound, and use the negative pressure generated in the cup to suck out the venom. If there is no cup, you can also use your mouth to suck the wound to detoxify the body, but the sucker's mouth and mouth must be free of damage and caries, otherwise there is a risk of poisoning. The Venom Agent then spits out the sucked-out Venom and rinses his mouth with cold water afterward.
