**Specialist Doctor's Response:**  **Re: Stray Dog Licked Nose – Rabies Risk Assessment**  Dear Patient,  While the stray dog’s lick on your intact skin (no wounds/pimples) poses **low rabies risk**, here’s a detailed analysis:  ### **Rabies Transmission Facts:**  ✔ **Requires:** Virus entry via **open wounds/mucous membranes** (eyes/nose/mouth).  ✔ **Your Case:** Nose skin was intact → **very low risk**, but not zero.  ### **WHO Guidelines for Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP):**  - **Category II Exposure** (Lick on intact skin):    - **Wash thoroughly** with soap/water (already done).    - **Vaccine recommended** if dog’s rabies status is unknown.  ### **Next Steps:**  1. **Observe the Dog (If Possible):**     - If the dog remains healthy for **10 days**, risk is negligible.  2. **If Dog Cannot Be Observed:**     - **Vaccination advised** (Rabipur/Verorab – 4 doses over 14 days).  ### **Urgent Action Needed If:**  ⚠️ You develop **fever, tingling, or numbness** near the lick site (rare but serious).  **Consult Today for Clarity:**  Rabies is fatal but preventable.
