Snipped by a raccoon, help not given ,now what?!


Question: Snipped by a raccoon, help not given ,now what!?
Here is the story!.!.
I was feeding a family of raccoons down at the jetties!.!. One of the babies which was about 4 months old Im guessing!.!. Well when it went to take the food out of my hand I felt like a pinch on my index finger!.!.

So as soon as i felt that i started squeezing my finger as hard as i could over and over to look for blood and no sign of blood was to be found!.!.!.

however there was this little semi red spot no bigger than the size of pen dot under my cuticle!.!.

Before I left the beach i washed my hands off in the salty water and well my index finger stung!.!. so there must of been some form of open wound!? right!?

went to the dr he directed me to the health department they sent an officer out to determine if i needed treatment!.

he asked if there was blood i said no , but i have this little pinch dot under my cuticle!.!.
he said well your okay then! end of story

Im still nervous about this, shouldnt they have given me preventive shots!? I called them today and the lady was like your okay as long as there wasnt any blood!.!. but what if that little spot i seen under my cuticle was blood!? should i seek help outside my own town!? or let it go !? im a nervous wreck Im scared Im really going to die with rabies!.!.

Am I even at risk!?

thank you in advance for any information one can offer!.!.!. Take careWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I literally saw an exterminator get tore up by a raccoon the areas where he was bit almost immediatly started to swell!.

I feel they know what they are talking about!. Trust me you do not want to receive the shots if you can help it!.

I feel you may just be nervous and is letting it run thru your minds to often!.

well if you want the shot you can just lie and say you were bleeding but if you were feeding raccoons as in handing them things to eat stait out your hand and not tossing the food then they would have been mad!. you probably no this but when a racoon has rabies its brain is messed it most likley would have pounced or some demonic **** but if they were friendly u should be okay!. But just incase read some other answers that might disagry with mine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
