One question maybe can save many persons(About Rabies)?

In China, many persons suffer from one Rabies question! Because Rabies describe like this : All the dogs bite or scratch can give you Rabies, and Rabies incubation period is from few days to sevral decades, and you need vaccine in 24 hours , otherwise is not effective! So many persons are worry to die: They have been bitten by dogs, but didn't get vaccine in 24 hours, how can they do now? They want to vaccine now, but are afraid the vaccine is still effective, because half of doctors say useless after 24 hours. So pls try to answer this question, not for fun, maybe you can save many persons, because many person want to kill himself for not knowing if they will die of Rabies one day!

First, my friend, calm down. Rabies can be taken care of if it's treated right away. It's best if you have the dog or, at least have the dog in custody so it can be watched for about ten days. The dog will start showing signs of rabies that are very apparent, then if you want, you can take the shots. They aren't as bad as they used to be anymore so, don't worry but, you do have to take them right away.

If rabies is apparent Immune globulin is given around the wound and if the animal is known to be rabid then rabies treatment should follow immediately.

Of course the wound should be washed right away first and treated for infection.

If the dog is killed, for some reason, then the head can be tested for rabies so, keep the head and keep it secure. Then the shots can be given right away without waiting. Good luck

I have heard the same thing about rabies. Once you have been bitten by an animal, you must get the treatments right away. This treatment will get rid of the disease if you get it right away. But, once you allow rabies to fully incubate, you are in trouble.

If someone is bitten by an animal they need to go to their doctor and an emergency room as soon as possible. The idea of needing to get the vaccine is not a hard and fast rule, rather it is just a good guideline. With proper treatment rabies is almost completly preventable. The problem is, if someone isnt treated, and develops symptoms then the fatality rate is pretty high.
