Rabies is a zoonotic disease that is highly contagious, and if you are accidentally scratched by a person or animal carrying the rabies virus, you are likely to become infected with rabies. There are countless such events, but there is nothing that can be done, and can only be cured by temporary suppression by rabies vaccine to produce antibodies in the body.

Having a pet is a person's hobby, but prevention is also the primary work that must be done, or some people inject rabies vaccine into pets, in this way, to some extent, it is more reliable, but if you are scratched, the person who is scratched can not have a fluke mentality, or go to the hospital to inject rabies vaccine is more secure, or it is recommended that everyone focus on prevention!
