Yesterday while I was sitting on my deck
eating a chipmunk tried to climb onto my
lap to get at my food, but while he was
trying to get to it my arm got scratched.
It wasn't a major scratch and it didn't
draw any blood, so I didn't think anything
of it. It was just a few white lines on my
skin that went away after I washed the
area. But I get really paranoid about
these sort of things and last night the
issue of rabies occurred to me. I know
that chipmunks don't usually carry rabies
and that the scratch was small and
probably not dangerous, but I'm still in a
sort of panic about it. I've actually
considered just getting the series of
shots because I'm so paranoid when it
comes to medical/health issues. Do you
think that I should go to the hospital or
to my doctor about this, or do you think
I'll be okay?
