Recently, a man in Zhejiang was unwell and was diagnosed with rabies and died three days after the onset of the disease. The wife said that her husband had been bitten by a dog a few years ago and that he had not been vaccinated against rabies in time because he thought it was fine. Doctors say the maximum incubation period for rabies is 19 years. As soon as this video was exposed, netizens who had been bitten by cats and dogs in the comment area were frightened one by one or hurried to consult a doctor or consult information; Panic or anxiety, or anxiety, in short, uneasiness.
There is no clear time to confirm the longest incubation period of rabies, and the real case has an incubation period of ten years, but most of the incubation period is within one year, so netizens do not need to worry too much.
Some netizens bluntly said that the video is simply creating panic, and the transmission routes and conditions of rabies should be transmitted correctly, not to create anxiety, false fear propaganda is useless, and only by doing a good job in dog management can human rabies be eliminated
How to deal with being scratched by a dog or cat
If you are scratched by a cat or dog, rinse it with soapy water and clean it with running water. Then go to the hospital within 24 hours to get the rabies vaccine. Now the rabies vaccine is generally 5 or 7 shots, free of charge.
Response
What pet cat and dog owners need to do is to vaccinate their pets in time. Fun fact: Normally, rabies vaccine is given to cats and dogs, not humans.
Pet owners go out to take care of their pets and walk their dogs on a leash in a civilized manner.
We personally have to stay away from stray cats, dogs, and wild animals when we go out.
Rabies is preventable but not curable
Once rabies is 100% fatal, there is no cure. Therefore, everyone should seek medical attention and get vaccinated as soon as they are scratched for their own safety, and do not have a fluke mentality. It is also hoped that scientists will develop drugs to treat rabies as soon as possible.
