A year ago, I had a cat claw scratch from a stray cat, which I didn’t think much about at the time. Recently, after reading a lot of news about rabies, I’ve started feeling very uneasy and scared and keep thinking about that old incident.
From a psychological perspective, this can happen when health anxiety gets triggered by something we read or hear. The mind starts revisiting an old event and imagining the worst-case scenario, even when there has been no new event or change.
Try to avoid repeatedly Googling rabies symptoms or seeking reassurance, as this can temporarily reduce anxiety but reinforce the fear in the long run. If you remain concerned about the old exposure, getting a one-time medical opinion can provide appropriate guidance.
For psychological support: nine two six six seven two six zero six five
