Rabies is a deadly viral disease that can spread to people and animals through bites or scratches from infected animals. It is commonly found in wild animals like stray dogs, bats, raccoons, skunks, and foxes. The rabies virus travels through nerve cells to the brain, where it multiplies quickly, causing severe inflammation of the brain and spinal cord, often leading to death.
Typical Symptoms of Rabies
- Seizure
- Losing consciousness
- Fever
- Insect sting or injury from animals
- Headache
- Redness in the affected area
- Bitten or scratched by an animal
- Muscle pain
Diagnostic Questions for Rabies
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Have you had a seizure?
- Have you temporarily lost consciousness?
- Do you have a fever?
- Have you been bitten or stung by bugs or animals?
- Do you have headaches or a heavy feeling in your head?
Treatment of Rabies
Once a rabies infection is established, there is no effective treatment, and it usually results in death, although a few people have survived. Therefore, it is recommended to get vaccinated within 24 hours after an animal bite to prevent infection. Protection can last six months to two years, depending on the vaccine type. People who frequently handle wild animals may consider getting booster shots regularly.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
