Is rabies vaccination needed for a cat scratch?
I got scratched under my right foot by a random cat on 12/02/24 at approximate 5:10PM at the Masjid while praying. I immediately washed the affected area with soap for about 5 minutes. The cat didn't seem rabid (No hypersalivation, itching, photophobia or visible scar or bite mark). I took an anti titenus serum afterwards as a precaution. Do I need to take Rabivax? If so, why, how, where and when?

Is there any medicine for muscle builing quickly i am too weak
Male | 28
Building muscle quickly may seem important if you’re feeling a lack of strength. A possible cause of this weakness is insufficient muscular development. To gain muscle mass, a combination of a nutritious diet and regular physical activity is essential. There is no instant remedy or medication for gaining strength rapidly. Incorporating protein-rich foods into your diet and engaging in exercises such as weight training can gradually increase your strength over time. It’s advisable to start at a moderate pace and be patient with your progress.
