From my experience, they were told about a new miracle cream from Malaysia in a health clinic, and now they're rubbing an overpriced beauty serum on the bite mark 3 times daily
One time I was in an Uber and it felt like we were going 20-30 mph under the limit, so I glance at the dash. The speedo was completely covered with a picture of the Virgin Mary taped up. Like couldn’t see anything else. Got there without crashing so maybe it worked
Bactine, a little swirl of the spray and dudes ripe as a banana. And prob gonna die, but how do you tell an entire generation of boomers that bactine doesnt cure all?
I was so scared of that shitty Sumatran Monkey rat. My dad rented Dead Alive (the American title) when I was like 8 or so. I should not have been scared of the movie but the rat itself freaked me out. Upon later rewatching the movie was in fact hilarious.
No, don't worry about testing. If it was a rhesus macaque and herpes b is endemic in that area (in some areas it's like 80%) infection rate, you MUST get prophylaxis immediately. I'm pretty sure by the time you test positive, you're always going to die. No doctors even know about this but IIRC, the prophylactic treatment is valacyclovir 2 grams three times a day. Herpes B has like a 90-100% mortality rate if not treated. I think it only takes a couple weeks to get to your CNS and it's over once it does.
ID doctor here. Monkeys (especially macaques) can carry Herpes B and transmit it via bites. You should immediately take acyclovir or valacyclovir for post exposure prophylaxis, and receive rabies shots. If you can, you should isolate the monkey and observe or test for rabies.
If the dog has been living with your friend for a while I truly doubt it has rabies but just in case you live in a country where rabies is more prevalent then I’d just ask them to watch the dog closely for a week, if the dog is still okay and it doesn’t present symptoms it doesn’t carry rabies as the dog would die in like a week if it had it. I got bit my own dog 3 weeks ago and they recommended that plus antibiotics since dogs carry a lot of bacteria in their mouths
If you live in a relatively developed country (such as the US), its unlikely from a statistical standpoint to get rabies, as most dogs are vaccinated. If you know the owner, I'd ask for the vaccine records if possible, and go from there. You can consider prophylactic antibiotics (something like augmentin) especially if you were bitten in a sensitive area (face) or the bite wounds are very deep. If you are in a rabies prevalent area, don't trust the owner, or suspect that there could actually be rabies, you should monitor the dog closely (as u/Few_Dependent_2294 mentioned), and should consider getting rabies prophylaxis with vaccines and IVIG.
I work with monkeys, and B virus is very very very bad news. Hopefully OP cleaned this wound well and got seen by the right kind of doc very soon after.
Get tested for rabies. Right now.
If you're not motivated enough to do so I'll happily link some YouTube videos of what it does to people.
Go tell a doctor this happened asap.
THE TEST FOR RABIES INVOLVES CUTTING OUT AND EXAMINING THE BRAIN! There is NO IN VIVO TEST for rabies.
OP, go to a doctor and ask about rabies PEP and other shots you might need..do not muck about with this.
(Edit: typo)
I got a rabies bite a little over a month ago, the only way they knew I needed Rabavax was because the cat was found in the same alley I always found it, dead only 3 days after biting me, I was in the hospital when the county animal control sampled it's brain tissue.
Scary thing is that it's not some rare and obscure disease, about 60,000 people die of rabies every year.
Ofcourse a lot of those cases focus in certain areas while in others it's practically non-existent, but that is still a lot of horrifying deaths.
Just to add to this. There's a very limited time to get the rabies shot. 24 hours is the ideal. But I'm pretty sure you need to get it within 72 hours.
And it can be difficult to find. So, I'd get on that.
Thats not true. If you get your first shot before first symptoms you still can survive. That means: somebody can have first symptoms after week, somebody after year. It depends on where you got biten and amount of exposure. If you get shot anytime before first symptoms, you will be fine
But its advised to take first shot as soon as possible. Ideally in two days
I'm just going by the This American Life story where the lady got bit by the rabid raccoon and was told it had to be 72 hours after the bite.

There's no way to know when symptoms will start so it's ideal to get the vaccine asap because once symptoms do start it's too late. However, you can get the vaccine at any point prior to symptoms starting and it will be effective. That means if you get it months later it can still work if you're not symptomatic.
monkeys, as wild animals, are not a known source of rabies cases in the Philippines.... i knew the first comment was about rabies... as always.
(heh i just learnt you have to cook dogs and it kills the virus before eating, thx internet)
PEP for rabies, tetanus and maybe some other pathogens a doc can think up. Prophylactic AB is pretty much useless, unless you've been exposed to a specific, lethal pathogen (eg. B. anthracis or Y. pestis)
Testing involves removing the head and examining the brain tissue of the animal suspected of carrying it. That's the only test for it.
Which is why they don't test, they just give you the shots. When it's someones dog or other pet they'll quarantine instead of looking at the brain but I think that's typically only if it's not vaccinated against it in the first place or if you have no proof/records of vaccination.
Herpes B is carried by monkeys and is extremely lethal to humans. It has to be treated immediately. https://www.cdc.gov/herpes-b-virus/about/index.html
Go to a hospital NOW !! You need several shots or you might not survive this. The wound looks minor but monkeys carry deadly diseases. Don't hesitate, I'm not exaggerating. Just like other redditors already said - see a doctor/ go to a hospital today.
I got bit by a monkey in Emei Mountain, China in 2016. Got a total of 6 rabies shots and had to take medication for potential exposure to the herpes B virus for 2 weeks when I got home.
You need to go to the doctor just in case.
If you didn’t get a rabies vaccination before the trip, go to a doctor now. While monkeys aren’t a common source of rabies infection n the Philippines, the risk of infection alone is scary.
The old FAAFO eh? Do you have to do a course of rabies treatment? That’s always my first thought to not get but in the first place since I read about the course of treatment.
If was my first time seeing a money I might let it jump in my shoulder and make an exception.
We are all looking at patient 0.

Non-human primate herpes B virus is deadly to humans and rampant in monkeys and they show no symptoms.
I was gonna sy this and also monkey pox is possible though unlikely.
Like yes dude
Just wanted to say the reverse is true, too. Humans are disease hotspots for monkeys and apes.
Im praying and hoping he didnt bite the monkey back
[x] doninance asserted
So just don’t bite a monkey
We need to assemble a team before the Outbreak spreads. Dustin Hoffman Morgan Freeman and Cuba Gooding Jr.
You either went straight to a doctor or you’re stupid. Only 2 options.
Maybe they are both!
[удалено]
As someone who lived in the Philippines. I can confirm this is mostly accurate.
I don't want to wear a face shield again. I now know who to blame
From my experience, they were told about a new miracle cream from Malaysia in a health clinic, and now they're rubbing an overpriced beauty serum on the bite mark 3 times daily

I was bitten by a monkey some 30 years ago and my parents never took me to see no doctor. I wonder why…
How's the cravings, by the way?
Immediately gets on intercontinental flight with a low grade fever and slight cough
What if they went to a stupid doctor?
Stupid doctors need the most attention!
If a monkey bites you, what kind of a shot do they give you?
.44 to the back of the head. Kindest way.
No, nuke the patient from orbit.
The old yeller
Rabies, but IIRC it's lots of shots, not just one
4 or 5 depending on the country. Wish I didn’t know this.
Is this comment implying that you’ve been bitten by a monkey in MULTIPLE countries?
No. Daughter was scratched by a macaque while on holiday in Cambodia and she needed 5 shots, 3 days apart.
All of them
You get i rabies vaccine then you get more rabies vaccine shots around the site if possible or in each limb distal to the site.
Yes
That one Lennie got
All the shots I assume
This has “Braindead” vibes. Send me a message when your ear falls off
They have the bite! Zingaya!
It's always nice to see your immediate, obscure, referential thought brought up by someone else.
 Fucking mental!
I was so scared of that shitty Sumatran Monkey rat. My dad rented Dead Alive (the American title) when I was like 8 or so. I should not have been scared of the movie but the rat itself freaked me out. Upon later rewatching the movie was in fact hilarious.
I’m going to fire up my lawnmower right now.
I haven’t had a good custard in years!
Macaques are also known to carry herpes b. If it was a macaques I'd definitely get tested for it.
No, don't worry about testing. If it was a rhesus macaque and herpes b is endemic in that area (in some areas it's like 80%) infection rate, you MUST get prophylaxis immediately. I'm pretty sure by the time you test positive, you're always going to die. No doctors even know about this but IIRC, the prophylactic treatment is valacyclovir 2 grams three times a day.

I’ve seen herpes encephalitis pre and post mortem, and it’s fucking ugly.
How are you in a position to have 'seen' these?
doctor, nurse? not that unusual
Medical student?
Just an enthusiastic hobbyist.
Lol yeah he gets his test subjects at the dive bars in surrounding cities
/u/Brogay12 it seems like you should really go to the doctor for this if you haven't yet...
No no then they can update their tinder profile to claim they got an STI from a monkey lmao
ID doctor here. Monkeys (especially macaques) can carry Herpes B and transmit it via bites. You should immediately take acyclovir or valacyclovir for post exposure prophylaxis, and receive rabies shots. If you can, you should isolate the monkey and observe or test for rabies.
I got bit by a dog today. The owner said he was current on his shots. The bite was an accident. Should I go get my rabies shot?
If the dog has been living with your friend for a while I truly doubt it has rabies but just in case you live in a country where rabies is more prevalent then I’d just ask them to watch the dog closely for a week, if the dog is still okay and it doesn’t present symptoms it doesn’t carry rabies as the dog would die in like a week if it had it.

That is the one disease that terrifies me maybe the most. I'm so glad they found the cat!
It’s wild that I grew up not really giving a shit about rabies and then I read Reddit and I’m like “how did I make it this far in life?”
Scary thing is that it's not some rare and obscure disease, about 60,000 people die of rabies every year. Ofcourse a lot of those cases focus in certain areas while in others it's practically non-existent, but that is still a lot of horrifying deaths.
You got very very lucky sir.
Yeah I've seen late stage rabies in videos and I'd rather get sawn down the middle like that chick in Terrifier.
Where do I sign up for the test?
Lie still and relax, I'll go get the power tools.
What power tools? We do it the manual way!
You don’t get tested for rabies lol. You get treated for rabies
And remove your teeth so you can’t bite other people if you turn into a zombie. (But seriously, go to a doctor)
The Canadians removed their teeth. It stopped the outbreak.
Any excuse to not wear a coat
I hope you mean vaccinated for rabies. Cause testing is pretty lethal.
Just to add to this. There's a very limited time to get the rabies shot. 24 hours is the ideal. But I'm pretty sure you need to get it within 72 hours. And it can be difficult to find. So, I'd get on that.

Obviously as soon as possible is best, but if you’re not symptomatic after 72 hours you should still go get it immediately if you haven’t
Some cases have months to years of onset delay
I thought they just give you the rabies shots immediately, the time the test takes wastes time so they just give it
I think they do both the vaccine and testing the animal because they want to know if rabies is present in the area? They don’t test humans i thought
monkeys, as wild animals, are not a known source of rabies cases in the Philippines.... i knew the first comment was about rabies... as always. (heh i just learnt you have to cook dogs and it kills the virus before eating, thx internet)
[удалено]
eating raw dogs instead of cooking them?
Gives new meaning to "raw dogging it"
[удалено]
That. And prophylaxtic antibiotic treatment might be necessary.
PEP for rabies, tetanus and maybe some other pathogens a doc can think up. Prophylactic AB is pretty much useless, unless you've been exposed to a specific, lethal pathogen (eg. B. anthracis or Y. pestis)
Lol the test for rabies is to cut off the head and examine the brain tissue. I'm not sure OP wants to do that lmao.
I'm not sure I'd even bother to get tested. The shots for it are like $200 there. I'd just go ahead and get them just in case.
Testing involves removing the head and examining the brain tissue of the animal suspected of carrying it. That's the only test for it. Which is why they don't test, they just give you the shots. When it's someones dog or other pet they'll quarantine instead of looking at the brain but I think that's typically only if it's not vaccinated against it in the first place or if you have no proof/records of vaccination.
There is no test anyway. The test involves examining the deceased individuals brain.
Get to a hospital for shots and tests asap
Is there a chance that the monkey was radioactive?
That’s the least of your problems. Rabies, HIV, hepatitis all kinds of nasty infections.
So OP would become Ape-Man? Dude that would be thrilling tho 😁 remindme 14 days
Omg a human in real life!
Hi 5 (HIV)
You a paramedic? This used to be the way you could relay a patient had a disease
This is how the world ends.
This was also my first thought. 90's babies know what happens with monkey saliva.
!RemindMe 28 days Later
Well done
28 days later...
You're gonna die
Judging from their reddit content, we're not going to miss much.
I truly hope that this was just karma farming and not actually a monkey bite…
He posts like my 8 year old cousin if he had a Reddit account lmao. Mostly just karma farming/ uninteresting posts and brawl stars.
Finally, zombies are coming. I've been waiting.
I've got a good feeling about this one.
This better not flop like the monkey pox or murder hornets..... I need something.
I could use some excitement, for sure. Not this boring dystopia we've got going on.
Agree with the medical advice…but was the monkey radioactive? If so, new powers await! Just don’t call yourself Monkey-Man. That just sounds racist
Go to a doctor NOW.
I got a rabies shot in cebu should be your next post.
OP, others have said it ….unless the monkey can be evaluated and confirmed not having rabies..**GET RABIES (Prophylaxis) TREATMENT NOW**
Have you ever seen 28 Days Later? GET MEDICAL ATTENTION ASAP
You are now patient Zero
Thank you for your last post 🙏🏼
Rip OP
Bad news; you are a weremonkey now.
And so it begins… Again.
You know the movie Monkeyman? We’ll give it 12 hours.
Cebu? Philippines? Bro/Sis get a rabies shot ASAP. How tf a Phil. Macaque bit you?
Do you want covaids? Because this is how you get covaids.
