After 10 years of being scratched by a cat, it is usually not possible to develop the disease, and the possibility of rabies virus infection is basically ruled out for more than 10 years. The incubation period of the rabies virus in the human body after infection is about 3 months, and it is rare for it to last more than a year. The possibility of developing the disease 10 years after being scratched exists, but it is rare. Moreover, it is not true that you will be infected with the rabies virus after being scratched by a cat. If the animal itself does not carry the rabies virus and is relatively healthy, the chance of being infected with the rabies virus after being scratched is very low. Of course, 10 years after being scratched by a cat, if you experience discomfort, it is recommended to go to the hospital, under the guidance of the doctor to do a systematic examination to find out the cause of the discomfort, and receive treatment to ensure early recovery.
