I'm a bit worried about the fumes from soldering since I do a bit of it at home, not regularly, just when needed. I don't really use any protection from the fumes, and I'm curious about how harmful they might be to my lungs. What kind of diseases could these fumes cause? Would a normal medical mask do anything to help with prevention? It's been hard finding much info on this, so I thought I'd ask here.

I got scratched by a stray dog's nails and my doctor said it's nothing to worry about, but he still recommended I take three doses of the Verorab IM vaccine on days 0, 3, and 7. I've already finished them, but I'm concerned because I read that the usual anti-rabies treatment involves five doses on days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28. Do you think I should get the additional doses on days 14 and 28, or are the three enough?
For your safety, it's recommended to follow the standard 5-dose regimen for post-exposure prophylaxis against rabies, which includes doses on days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28.
