Rabid

Rabies is a deadly viral disease that affects the nervous system of mammals, including humans. It is usually transmitted through the bite of an infected animal, such as a dog or bat. Once symptoms appear—like confusion, agitation, or paralysis—there is no effective treatment, and it almost always leads to death. The virus travels from the wound to the brain, causing severe inflammation. Rabies can be prevented through prompt wound cleaning and vaccination after an animal bite. If you suspect rabies exposure, seek immediate medical attention to receive post-exposure prophylaxis, which is highly effective at preventing the disease.
