Hello doctor, I am an 18 year old girl. This week, I bought two kittens and a dog. I took good care of them and cleaned them thrice a day. One of my kittens scratched me a bit, but I cleaned the scratch with soap and alcohol. It has been six days and the scratch is gone. But, I feel very weak lately and have a severe headache as well as an upset stomach. I am an extremely clean person. I cleaned everything and disinfected the cat room. Do I still need to get tested for a cat scratch disease? I am a bit better now. I thought I am a bit anemic from my period and I started some vitamins. Am I in danger? The vet said that I am not if i clean my hands regularly, but I am still concerned.
