I have never had nor known an active victim of infection with the human rabies virus.
Today is World Rabies Day.
We observe the day annually on September 28 in the name of global awareness regarding rabies prevention and honor Louis Pasteur, who developed the first effective rabies vaccine.
This year's theme is "Stronger Together" under the auspices of the Global Alliance for Rabies Control (GARC).
The best information discusses those difficulties of treatment and prolonged course of the disease.
It is far better to attempt avoidance of human rabies virus if at all possible rather undergo which is a most difficult cure. The mortality in symptomatic cases of rabies approaches 100%.
