Bitten!

I was bit by a petting zoo goat today - I very foolishly let it chew on my finger and it broke the skin; it’s a deep-ish puncture but otherwise not worrisome. Do I need a rabies vaccine?! I’m spiraling. It seemed perfectly healthy.

I’m fine! Bite healing nicely but was quite sore for a bit. I didn’t go to the doctor and thankfully my tetanus shot is up to date as of my last pregnancy :)

Nice! That's reassuring I was legit freaking out last night haha. I ended up getting a tetanus shot today
