Is it possible to not notice a dog bite
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

Self examination by yourself 5 times, u can't miss the sensation.
It's really not true. At 24 u don't feel prick.
It's your body u can't miss the minor or minute scratch.
ON THE BASIS OF DOUBT EVEN IF U R IN STRESS OR ANXIETY U MAY GO FOR VACCINE. NO ANY HARM.

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
