In 2015 a monkey attacked on me in my hand, monkey scratched in my hand and blood come out. I do not know whether monkey biten me or not. At that I contacted Dr. he only gave some ointment to apply online it. Do I need to worry about rabies in 2020 because some Dr. says it takes time to develop rabies in humans. Please do guide me.
