Yes, a monkey scratch can be dangerous, mainly because of the risk of rabies and bacterial infection. My medical advice is to take any scratch that breaks the skin seriously, even if it is small and painless. In India, a monkey scratch should be assessed promptly for rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). Rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms develop, but it is preventable with timely treatment. �
Next Steps
Wash the scratch with soap and running water for 15 minutes. Apply povidone-iodine antiseptic if available. Visit any hospital today for assessment. A clinician should also assess your tetanus vaccination status and whether antibiotics are needed. Take rabies vaccine prophylaxis
