Early symptoms may include fever, anxiety, confusion, excessive saliva, and difficulty swallowing, which can later progress to hydrophobia (fear of water), paralysis, coma, and death if treatment is not given in time.
The important thing to remember:
Rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear, but it is completely preventable with timely medical treatment and vaccination after exposure.
If someone is bitten or scratched by an animal:
β’ Wash the wound immediately with soap and running water for at least 15 minutes
β’ Apply an antiseptic if available
β’ Seek medical care immediately for rabies vaccination
Prevention starts with vaccinating pets, avoiding stray animals, and spreading awareness.
