Many years ago I was bitten by a stray dog who was bahving very aggressively, but got away. I went to my doctor, she was a countrified sort and older. She asked if it had bled a decent amount, which it had. She then told me I could either get painful, dangerous shots or soak my hand in water as hot as I could stand it for ten minutes at a time, every half hour for the day.

My hand was pretty prune-y by the end of the evening, but I never got sick.

No idea if the dog was ill or just cranky, but it's been decades and I'm still here.
