FACTS ABOUT THE KILLER RABIES
Aside from the fact that Anti-Rabies vaccination would cost a lot, there are other facts about its deadly infection. A friend’s mother died and they are blaming it to the dog’s bite which caused the rabies. Actually not only dogs can spread rabies, it may also be transmitted by other mammals’ bite such as cats’, cattle’s. But the majority of rabies cases are caused by wild animals such as bats, foxes, and raccoons. Only 10% of the total cases of rabies infection are caused by cats, dogs and cattle. The possibility of death caused by rabies infection occur to people who are much likely not aware of their infection therefore they have not been able to seek for medical attention.
I am glad to say that rabies is preventable. We are lucky because vaccines to prevent human rabies are available now not like before. That is why the number of people dying from rabies every year gradually decreases. But there are still countries in which vaccinations and other health resources are not yet available for public. In these countries, to stay away from these rabid animals is the best way to prevent rabies infection.
The symptoms of rabies infection include fever, headache and general depression.
