X. What to do immediately after a bite, scratch, or lick: Wash the wound with soap and running water for XX minutes. Then apply an antiseptic like betadine.

Vaccination, immunoglobulin, or both: For academic interest only : Category I (licks on intact skin, animal sniffing, contact without bite/scratch) generally requires nothing except washing.
