I read all the rabies questions on yahoo answers already but i'm still worried about recieving rabies because I saw the cat lick it's paw and I figured that the claws would get soaked in it's salvia, which carried the virus. It doesn't have foam in the mouth and wasn't vicious ( it clawed me because i tried to take back the food i gave it) I'm constantly feeding it so it would stay so I can observe it for rabies symptoms
My health care insurance expired the day I recieved the scratch also
Does anyone know how much a rabies shot is?

A staff infection people are referring to as mercer is spreading rapidly around the area in which I live. A school in another city has been shut down after 2 children died from this virus. I work in a pharmacy and have had parents comming in after leaving from days at the hospital with their small children to pick up prescription...and its really scaring me!!! What can I do, besides the obvious, to prevent getting this and bringing it home to me 1 year old?

Any suggestions I may not be thinking of?

The reason I ask is because I really never knew what they were before. I asked my boyfriend if he ever gets "white things" from his throat, if they ever come into his mouth. (like coughing them up) he said no. it's a little weird onlyl because he said he didn't get them, and now, he gets them. Any ideas?

I am wondering if I should or should not get my daughter (8)vaccinated this year with the flu shot. Last year within a few hours after recieving the flu shot she was violenting throwing up. It lasted all night, every 15min intervals. She was so sick, I am afraid this was a side effect to the flu shot. I don't want her to go through that again, if this is how her body reacts to it. Should I take that chance? I certainly don't want her getting the flu either. Any advice, or info. would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

its been about 3 days since my throat started swelling, and now i can't swallow anything, even my saliva. my mouth keeps making these thick mucous salivas and i just spit them out occasionally w/o swallowing them. Im currently not eating anything or drinking because it is so painful.
im planning to go to the doctors later in the day but im really scared.
currenlty my throat is just swelled up and its all clogged.

I never seem to catch a cold or get ill. Does this mean I have a very good immune system? I've never taken vitamins.

So I've seen bits and pieces of the staph infection on the news and there was an announcement about it at our high school. So i was hoping some one could help explaining some things to me. I was wondering if this was or is going to become an epidemic? From what I've heard there are no reported cases of the deadly strain in our area. I live in Wisconsin and I was wondering if I am at high risk catching the infection? and lastly I was wondering should I be worried about this or will I be safe with just using common sense and proper hygiene?

Yesterday evening I was outside for about 15 minutes in the dark...and a couple minutes later, my leg started to itch in a couple places. I went inside and had, what appeared to be, two bug bites. They were swollen...and this morning I itched them a little more than I should have, and now they're completely red, but less swollen. I recently watched a news report on Staph/MRSA and it's freaking me out...(I have an anxiety disorder). It's a bug bite, right? :/ I would have other symptoms if it was Staph/MRSA, right?

I hear people say its spreading super fast. I also heard people say its not spreading that fast. I mean its been around for years right? Why is the news just bringing it up now?

Oh and also I live in Wisconsin, I was wondering if anyone knows if its here? And whats my risk of contracting it?
