What is rabies?
Rabies is a disease transmitted from animals to humans, which is caused by a virus. There are two clinical manifestations of rabies – frantic and paralytic. Frantic rabies is most common form of human rabies.

Early symptoms can include fever and tingling at the site of exposure.

These symptoms are followed by one or more of the following symptoms: violent movements, uncontrolled excitement, fear of water, an inability to move parts of the body, confusion, and loss of consciousness.

Once symptoms appear, the result is nearly always death.

The time period between contracting the disease and the start of symptoms is usually one to three months; however, this time period can vary from less than one week to more than one year.

The time is dependent on the distance the virus must travel to reach the central nervous system.

It is caused by lyssaviruses, including rabies virus and Australian bat lyssavirus.

It spreads when an infected animal scratches or bites another animal or human.

Saliva from an infected animal can also transmit rabies if the saliva comes into contact with the eyes, mouth, or nose.

What should not be done with an animal
bite wound?
Avoid:
●
Applying irritants to the wound such as chilli
powder, plant juices, acids or alkalis.
●
Covering the wound with dressings or bandages.

How does rabies develop in humans?

After entering the human body, the rabies virus progresses from the innermost layer of tissue below the human skin (called subcutaneous tissue), or from muscle, into peripheral nerves (i.e. the nerves in the body which are outside the brain or spinal cord).
The virus migrates along nerves to the spinal cord and brain at an estimated speed of 12–24 mm a day.
The infected person exhibits behavioural changes and clinical signs when the virus reaches the brain. The incubation period ranges from a few days to several months, and can be as long as 1 year.


Globally, dogs are the most common animal involved.

More than 99% of rabies cases in countries where dogs commonly have the disease are caused by dog bites.

In the Americas, bat bites are the most common source of rabies infections in humans, and less than 5% of cases are from dogs.

Rodents are very rarely infected by it.

The virus travels to the brain by following the peripheral nerves. The disease can only be diagnosed after the start of symptoms.

Animal control and vaccination programs have decreased the risk of the virus from dogs in a number of regions of the world.

Immunizing people before they are exposed is recommended for those who are at high risk.

The high-risk group includes people who work with bats or who spend prolonged periods in areas of the world where it is common.

In people who have been exposed to rabies, the rabies vaccine and sometimes rabies immunoglobulin are effective in preventing the disease if the person receives the treatment before the start of rabies symptoms.

Washing bites and scratches for 15 minutes with soap and water, povidone iodine, or detergent may reduce the number of viral particles and may be somewhat effective at preventing transmission.

Only five people have survived a rabies infection after showing symptoms, and this was with extensive treatment known as the Milwaukee protocol.

Great article. The first recorded person to survive rabies infection is Jeanna Giese who underwent a an experimental treatment in Milwauke, hence the Milwauke protocol. She was put in a medically induced coma to protect her brain from damaging effects of rabies virus until her immune system could fight the disease. She was also treated with some antiviral medication while in coma. The protocol has been modified since its first use. I was fascinated by the protocol and her survival that I had to contact her on Facebook around 2010. She's quite very lucky

Once a rabid dog bite you, u are bleeped. the is no way out. mortality is 100% just go and do u r will and say your last prayer

Nice and informative article OP. I would have also wished you mentioned something about whether or not a person infected by rabies will begin to bark as a dog as one of the effects.

it is actually very true. it is a phase of rabid infection that displays the attack of the virus on the nervous and brain tissues.
Resulting in extreme salivation and thirst at the same time with inability to swallow.

Nigerians please learn, no where was it stated that victims will bark like a dog . It's just urban myth!

with immediate treatment there is a survival chance greater than when not treated.
