10 Rabies Symptoms In Humans
Symptom #1: Skin Inflammation
The only symptom during the incubation stage of the rabies virus is the wound on the skin from the animal bite or scratch. There must be broken skin for the infected saliva to pass through in order to cause infection. The incubation period for the rabies virus is typically twenty to fifty days. However, rabies symptoms may start to appear five to six days after the animal bite.
The location of the bite determines how fast the virus will take to reach the brain. The nearer the bite is to the brain, the earlier symptoms start to appear. Get a vaccination immediately after the animal bites you even if you don’t suspect the animal to have the virus. An early vaccination can inhibit the virus from advancing.
