Do you know how terrible rabies is when it happens? Can you talk about it?

Have you ever seen a rabies patient? Do you know how terrible rabies is with a mortality rate of 100%? Mania, excitement, anxiety and even wanting to bite people are all symptoms of rabies infection. Rabies is the disease with the highest mortality rate on earth. According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, about 59,000 people worldwide die of rabies every year. Almost 99% of the infected people are bitten by dogs, but a few of them are infected from cats, hyenas, skunks, bats and other animals. The most terrible thing is the bat, because you don't even notice when you are bitten. And if you are bitten by an animal such as a dog, the virus will enter your body through the broken skin, infect your nerve cells, and make your wound sting.

The incubation period of rabies can reach three to 14 weeks. During this period, the virus will gradually spread to your brain, and how long it takes to reach your brain depends mainly on how close the bite marks are to your head. Once the virus reaches the brain, it will multiply rapidly and return to most parts of your body through nerves. At this time, the symptoms of rabies will begin to appear, and you may feel tired, headache, fever and loss of appetite. Many people will think that they just have a cold at this time, but all this is just the beginning.

After that, the virus will attack your central nervous system, causing inflammation in your brain, accompanied by insomnia, insanity, irritability and so on. So that at first I couldn't tell illusion from reality. If you are infected with manic rabies, you will become extremely active and excited, and sudden anxiety and uneasiness will make you irritable and aggressive. And when you see the water, you will feel uncontrollable fear, just like watching a scourge.

There are two types of rabies. In addition to manic rabies, there is a 30% chance of paralytic rabies, which will make your muscles out of control, make you numb gradually and eventually fall into a coma. The reason why the death rate of rabies coma can reach terrible 100% is that once the symptoms of rabies begin to appear, there is almost no treatment, and the infected person can only wait for death. Therefore, once bitten or scratched by animals such as dogs, even if these animals have no signs of rabies, they must be vaccinated in time. Because the death rate of rabies is very high, its incubation period is also very terrible. At present, the longest known incubation period of rabies has reached 7 years. However, don't panic after being bitten. As long as the rabies vaccine is vaccinated in time, there will be basically no problem, because the vaccine has not been found to be ineffective.
