The Rabies Virus is a deadly virus that primarily affects mammals, including humans. It is usually transmitted through the bite of an infected animal, such as a dog or bat. Once inside the body, the virus travels along the nervous system, eventually reaching the brain, where it can cause severe inflammation and neurological symptoms. Symptoms of rabies can include fever, headache, confusion, and agitation, often leading to paralysis and death if not treated promptly. Vaccination is crucial for prevention, especially for those at higher risk, such as veterinarians and animal handlers. Immediate medical attention is essential after potential exposure to the virus.
