How dangerous is rabies disease?
Rabies is a virus disease. According to the World Health Organization, the patient dies in most cases after seeing the serious symptoms of this disease. That is why vaccination is done to stop the virus before the spread of the body. If a dog or any other infected animal bites a person, it is advisable to apply the first vaccine within 24 to 72 hours.
