Rabies vaccine?
I had the full pre-exposure rabies vaccination back in 2006, and then had two potential exposures in 2008 and 2010. Each time, I received the recommended two post-exposure booster shots. From what I’ve read, and based on WHO and CDC guidelines, as well as advice I’ve had from both a Western and a Thai doctor—the pre-exposure series—especially when followed by proper post-exposure boosters—provides long-term, possibly lifelong, protection. No further boosters are considered necessary unless you're at high occupational risk or immunocompromised. One of the key advantages of being pre-vaccinated is that you don’t need Human Rabies Immune Globulin (HRIG) or Equine Rabies Immune Globulin (ERIG) after an exposure. Both can be expensive, hard to find in some areas, and—as blood products—carry some risk. Rabies is genuinely frightening—because even a minor scratch, if ignored, can be fatal. The virus travels along nerves, and since the vaccine takes several days to trigger an immune response, unvaccinated individuals should receive HRIG or ERIG as soon as possible to stay protected. For anyone spending time in Thailand where rabies is endemic, I’d say the pre-exposure vaccine is well worth having—for both safety and peace of mind. -

Will there ever be a safe vaccine?
Another one-liner. Why not debate Trans bud? Science is always ready to be added to. or corrected -

How often do you shave?
Never had a beard. Some people look really bad, some guys look good in beards. It adds another "dimension" to your face. I just bought a new electric shaver for 700 Baht. Works well, but wonder how long the blades will remain sharp or it if breaks. If I can get a year out of it, I'll be happy. No shaving cream needed, and quick and good enough. Maybe not as sharp as a razor, but who cares? It's good enough and less hassle than buying razors.
