Is it possible to not notice a dog bite

2025-04-28 19:22:31
I was travelling on a bike and a dog started barking and followed me . Due to sudden barking , heart started racing and went into flight or fight mode. My doubt is what if there was a bite that I might have not noticed or slight scratch which I might have missed due to me being tensed and not feeling pain( there wasn't blood or physical bite marks) . Not sure about minute scratch or bite and anxious if I missed or not noticed it

If bite, or scratch not visible , or there’s no contact with the dog, there’s no risk of rabies. Since you are followed while riding and have no wounds, no treatment is needed. You will be safe , just check for scratches or wounds
