A (real) monkey grabbed my hand and its nails made me bleed.

lol, dude don't worry about it, the most you will get is a golf ball sized staph infection that will ooze out rotting flesh. (Seriously, that is all that you will probably get, maybe tetonis as well, depending on how deep he cut into you)

I guess you could get ecoli as well if it was the poo flinging hand. Hope I've helped to comfort you 😀

Guess im never getting married if I get it cut off.
And, its 4 days till im back in NJ.
Hope I dont die mid-flight!

Well. Will a scratch that punctured the skin by its nail give me any diseases?
It didnt bite me. And it wasnt foaming at the mouth. It was doing somersaults and dancing to music. It was a street pedlar's show monkey.

Umm. Your wedding ring finger is on your left hand.

The peddler probably sells the antivenin as a side business.

Rabies is passed through salvia usually BTW. However, if you have doubts it would pay to get looked at.

If they don't have the monkey present the doctor will usually assume to start treatment for Rabies as a prevention.

Ohh, I forgot the mention that the puss will mutate into man eating zombie monkies that will kill and rape the OP in the middle of the night and then start to scratch and infect the WORLD! We have an Epidemic on our hands!

If you kill the monkey and eat it, you will kill the rabies. That's what a monkey told me.

But you have to eat it's still-beating heart for the rabies to completely die.

it ran after me and grabbed my hand and its nails made a tiny hole in my skin and a little blood came out.
I immediately stuck hand sanitizer on the "wound."
Will I get rabies?

Its not "rabies" its herpes. That shit will kill you. My grad work was with non-human primates (macaques) and those fuckers carry a nasty strain of herpes that will kill you if you contract it. Basically, *all* those animals carry it. You are fucked. Im being *very* serious here.

2nd that.

I have 3 Phd's in Monkeyology and I can support that claim. You're basically already dead. You have no chance to survive make your time.

Relax, you'll be fine ... go to doc to hit you up with a tetanus shot.

When I was in India, I was bitten by rats & stray dogs, scratched by feral cats & monkeys and clawed at by an eagle (trying to steal my 'tiffin') - you have nothing to worry about unless you have some really bad luck
