Rabies

Rabies is a viral infection caused by the rabies virus, which is typically transmitted through the bite of an infected animal, like a dog. Once the virus enters the body, it travels to the brain, causing severe neurological symptoms such as confusion, agitation, and paralysis. Rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear, but it can be prevented through prompt medical treatment, including a series of vaccinations, if exposure is suspected. It's crucial to seek immediate medical attention after potential exposure to ensure safe and effective prevention.
