Every year, about 20 thousand people die in the country due to rabies. Let us tell you, rabies spreads due to dog bites. Most cases of rabies are reported in India and surprisingly, children under the age of 15 years are most affected by rabies in the country. Actually, there is very little awareness among people about this disease, so every year on 28 September, ‘World Rabies Day’ is celebrated to make people aware. Most people have this notion about rabies that it is caused only by dog bites, whereas it is not so. This disease is also caused by bites of many other animals. So let’s know which animals other than dogs bite it, what are its symptoms and what should be done to prevent it?
How does rabies disease spread?
Let us tell you, a virus called Lassa is found in the saliva of a dog, which spreads the disease of rabies. When a dog bites a person, then rabies spreads in the person’s body. If the anti-rabies vaccine is not taken within 24 hours of the dog bite, then the situation can become serious.
Rabies disease also spreads from these animals:
Most people think that rabies is spread only by dog bites, but this is not true. The rabies virus is also found in animals like dog, cat, monkey, bat, fox, mongoose and jackal. If any of these animals bites you, you should immediately get an anti-rabies vaccine because negligence in treatment can lead to death of the person.
