Rabies is an almost 100% fatal disease once symptoms develop, which is why prevention is extremely important. It is transmitted through the saliva of an infected animal, usually through bites, scratches, or when saliva comes in contact with a fresh wound or mucous membranes (eyes, nose, or mouth). If someone is constantly handling or playing with street dogs, there is a possibility of unnoticed minor scratches or small cuts sustained during daily activities. If infected saliva comes in contact with such breaks in the skin, there is a potential risk of rabies exposure, even if the person does not immediately realize it. For people who have frequent and repeated close contact with stray animals, pre-exposure rabies vaccination is a sensible preventive measure and is recommended for individuals at increased risk of exposure. In addition, any bite, scratch, or suspected saliva exposure should be treated as a medical emergency, with immediate wound washing and prompt medical evaluation for post-exposure prophylaxis. Wherever possible, the street dog itself should also be vaccinated against rabies. Mass vaccination of stray dogs is one of the most effective public health strategies for reducing rabies transmission and protecting both animals and humans. Rabies is a disease where prevention is far safer than taking chances.
Next Steps

Health Tips
