I accidentally stabbed myself while working in my flowerbed. I've lost 2 cats with feline leprosy.?
Tool was full of dirt cats use as litterbox & is infected with feline leprosy. The tool went in so deep, when I pulled it out the dirt blocked the hole so there wasn't a drop of blood. I've flushed it out many times with peroxide but it definetly isn't impoving. Can a human catch Feline Leprosy & what's the danger of cat feces? This happened 7-3 & this is 7-8 Any advice besides Emergency RM.

I would actually call (calmly) a veterinarian and ask this question. They would know all about feline leprosy if its in your community (in fact--can you call the vet who treated your cats?). This is caused by a mycobacterium, so it is treatable if it crosses to humans (I do not know). You are on day 5 post wound, correct? So you are not going to get a more common infection (it would have shown by now--I assume you have no signs of an infection, or you would have said). You should also be sure your tetanus is up to date.

Leeches will eat the dead flesh and provide a natural antibiotic.
