please help!!

hello
please help me !!! please !!

i am sorry i bother u ,please exeuse me ,but i am realy got panic and need help,please help me ,and please execuse my poor english.



my question is about the rabies.

8 days ago i am exposed in a dog's bite,the wound is on my foot.
i have injected the bacterin for 3 times,the time is 0,3,7 ,today is the 7th day.

but an accident happened yesterday which make me extremely panic and terrified.

yesterday ,on my way home ,i meet a dog,it is drinking water in a basin.it was close to me ,during this time ,i do not know why the basin was overturn ,and i felt there was one or two drops of water spilled into my eyes!!! i did not nervous at that time and did not think about anything,because i know i have just injected the bacterin.

today,another accident happens! i feel a rapid hurt on my eys .after i check my eyes through the mirror ,i found one  eyelash in my eye ,and the white of the eye is hyperaemia.i can see some blood thread on my eyeball!!!  i doubt that the eyelash stab into my eyeball and make the conjunctiva broken!!

all that thing make me extremely panic.

i know if i have injected the bacterin ,could the antiboy come into the eyeball?i know the antibody can not come into the brain,but i do not know could it come into the eyeball.all could it spread all over the eyeball,including conjunctiva and inside the eyeball?

another things i worry about is that ,i doubt the virus hang in my eyeball,that means the virus come into my eyeball through the wound on my conjunctiva,but it did not meet any nerve and did not meet the antiboy,so it did not infect my body but it did not die too,it just survive in my eyeball.could this situation happen?this thinking make me felt there is a time bomb in my eyes and make me freak!

my question is :

1. if some virus is in my eyes,could the antibody spread all over the eyeball(include the neve ,the blood,and all the tissue in my eye ball) and kill the virus?

2. could the virus hang in my eyeball?that means it did not infect me but did not die,it just survive in my eyeball.could this situation happen?i worry about that if this happen ,when my body lost the antiboy ,the virus infect me .or some accident
make the virus infect me ! if this happen ,how long will the virus die itself in my body?

3.i know the virus infect the brain through the nerve fluid ,is there any nerve fluid in the eysball include the conjunctiva and other tissue?if the virus infect me ,and if the antibody can not come in to eyeball and kill the virus ,how long will the virus come into the brain?

4.what can i do now ?how long time healthy can prove i am not infected?



dear doctor ,i am sorry i bother u about this questions,but i am now very panic,and need help.please help me.please explain clearly ,i do not know how can get this nightmare.

extremely thanks!!!

If the person posting this is still on the site please post again to let us know things are alright. To be honest for anyone reading this once someone develops the clinical manifestations of rabies, there is little that can be done. It will be fatal at that point. That's why prompt vaccination is neccessary. However, sometimes people can have all kinds of illnesses that are neurological, some of which cause personality changes and believe its rabies so if something happens its still worth getting checked out by a doctor. And occasionally even on this site, someone may put a post that is facetetious to get a reaction in people. However, its always best to give a genuine response to them. From what the person posted they had been vaccinated so they should have prevented rabies from occuring. However, if it had occured they would no longer be alive. Let's hope that's not true. There was only one case where a girl survived having rabies without being vaccinated. They kept her in a coma for an extended period of time to stop the rabies virus from progressing in the brain
and administered antibiotics:

But science hasn't been able to duplicate it again and around the world tens of thousands of people still die and a few in the U.S. each year so prompt vaccination is of the essence and for your pet as well of course.

Your English is good.  Go to the hospital immediately.  Your symptoms are similar to the rabies virus getting worse.  Yes, rabies virus can be transmitted through the eyes, according to the Centers for Disease Control.  I do not know if the injections would prevent a new infection.  But I think you are hallucinating a little, you are agitated and upset, and these symptoms may indicate rabies getting worse, which can be from the first dog that bit you.  So, you must go to the hospital to make sure you are okay.  

The "Doctor" forum here is different than this one.  This forum is for patient-to-patient support.  I am not a doctor.  To "Ask A Doctor" your question, go to the "Home" page here, then from the menu select "Neurology," and when that page comes up, the text at the top says "Ask A Doctor," so select that, if you want an online answer from a doctor.

Here is the rabies government website link:
www.cdc.gov/rabies

But please, sir, go to the hospital today.  Do not wait.  It doesn't matter if you think you are healthy.  It's just that rabies is too serious to take lightly.  Even though you are receiving treatment, please at least go to the doctor today, but going to the hospital would be so much better.
