Rabies
General Info about Rabies

Text

Rabies is a zoonotic viral disease which infects domestic and wild animals. It is transmitted to other animals and humans through close contacts with saliva from infected animals (ie. bites, scratches, licks on broken skin and mucous membranes).

Once symptoms of the disease develop, rabies is fatal to both animals and humans. Each year, it kills more than 50,000 people and millions of animals around the world.

Take heed of yonder dog! Look, when he fawns, he bites; and when he bites, His venom tooth will rankle to the death: Have not to do with him, beware of him; Sin, death, and hell have set their marks on him.

-William Shakespeare, 1592
