What is Rabies?

**** WE HAVE RABIES VACCINES IN STOCK ****

Rabies is a vaccine-preventable, viral disease affecting the central nervous system. Once symptoms are present, rabies is almost always fatal. So prevention and early treatment are crucial.

It is transmitted via bites, scratches and being licked by a rabid animal. Up to 99% of all human rabies infections are caused by a bite or scratch from an infected dog. However you can be infected by cats, bats and monkeys. In 2018 a man from the UK died after a cat scratch in Morroco.

Rabies

information

Rabies exists on all continents, except Antarctica

Rabies
The symptoms can include:
  • Pain and tingling/numbness around the site of the wound
  • Nausea, vomiting
  • Sometimes a fear of water (hydrophobia)
  • As it spreads through the brain, it can cause hyperactivity, changes in consciousness and paralysis
  • If clinical signs of rabies appear and not been vaccinated then death can occur

If typhoid fever isn’t treated, the symptoms will continue to get worse over the following weeks and the risk of developing potentially fatal complications will increase.

To minimise your risk
  • Do not approach animals or attract stray animals by offering food
  • Be aware that certain activities may attract dogs (eg running, cycling)
  • Be extra careful when visiting temples with roaming animals eg monkeys
  • Get Vaccinated
