For a long time,
humans’ fear of rabies is deeply ingrained:
the closeness of the hairy child to the human world,
accidents seem to come at any time;
is often rendered as
"spanspan _span12"
-like symptoms,
and
"Once you get sick, you must die"
……
So, what exactly is rabies in
?
What is rabies?
Rabies, commonly known as "mad dog syndrome" and "water fear", is a zoonotic central nervous system infectious disease caused by rabies virus infection. Once the disease occurs, the mortality rate is almost 100%.
What are the sources of infection of rabies virus in my country?
Animals carrying rabies virus are the source of infection of this disease. Worldwide, dogs are the main natural reservoir of rabies virus . In my country, the main source of rabies infection is sick dogs, followed by cats, pigs, cattle, horses and other domestic animals.
The source of rabies infection mainly refers to mammals. Our most common high-risk risks are mainly cats, dogs, wild mammals, and bats; low-risk animals are domestic animals; non-mammals we think there is no risk.
Ways of transmission of rabies!
virus is mainly transmitted through the bite of an animal suffering from rabies. It can also be caused by the scratch of an animal with the virus or its saliva contaminates the existing wound or mucous membrane. A few can be infected during the process of slaughter, peeling, and cutting.
The manifestation of rabies infection!
The early manifestations of rabies infection are mainly dizziness, exertion, and general discomfort.The obvious symptoms are fear of water, fear of sound, fear of light, easy irritation, and a state of convulsion.
The incubation period of rabies!
Rabies incubation period varies in length, mainly related to factors such as age, wound location, wound depth, number of invading viruses, and virulence.
After being bitten by an animal, until the rabies virus passes through the peripheral nerve tissue to the brain tissue, there will be no clinical symptoms. Once in the brain tissue, the rabies virus can cause a variety of non-specific symptoms.
With the development of the brain infection, the patient's symptoms become more and more obvious until he falls into a coma, and finally dies of heart or lung failure.
So
Why do some people suffer from rabies after being bitten
,
Some people unfortunately suffer from rabies?
People get sick mainly because of their immunity, which is a process of fighting the number of viruses and their abilities; if the human body’s immunity is very strong, if it is defeated, the person may not be sick; if the human immunity is very weak , The virus is very powerful and there are many in number, and people will definitely get sick. (Bites) We generally classify the head and face according to the severity of the disease. Other parts are okay, and it is mainly related to the depth of the wound. Every 9 minutes
1 person in the world dies of rabies.
Although the statistics are cold,
, but rabies is actually a preventable and controllable disease.
The premise is proper handling.
In our daily life,
our understanding of rabies,
which is incorrect.
Bandage to stop bleeding after being bitten by an animal
Error 1
After being bitten by an animal, the first step must be to wash as soon as possible and thoroughly wash .
If the wound is particularly large and deep, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment;
Obviously hemorrhage is a bandaged bleeding spot, after bandaging, go to the hospital for treatment;
Simple little bleeding, or even no bleeding, recommended at home Treat first, rinse with running soapy water for at least 15 minutes, and rinse repeatedly and thoroughly.
There is no need to vaccinate rabies vaccine as long as there is no bleeding after being bitten. This can be considered as zero;
If there is a scratch or even bleeding, it is at a certain risk. It is classified as a secondary or tertiary wound, and it is recommended to get a vaccine.
The simple way to distinguish: rub it with alcohol. If there is pain, it is recommended to get a vaccine. If there is no pain, it is not necessary to fight.
Observe for a period of time after being bitten by an animal, and then vaccinate rabies vaccine when symptoms appear.After the delay, the virus begins to multiply, and the risk is high.
After the symptoms appear, the virus has defeated you at that time, and the injection will be useless. The vaccine only plays a preventive role, not a cure. The current rabies mortality rate is 100%.
The incubation period of rabies is as long as 20 years and there can be a fluke
Error four
The incubation period we think should be one to three months, rarely less than one week and more than one year
Rabies vaccine can only be vaccinated with one or two shots
Error five
The country now advocates five-needle therapy and four-needle therapy. At least the first three shots should be used in a standardized manner.
Small animals look healthy and don’t need to worry about being infected with rabies
Error 6
Animals that don’t cause disease don’t mean they don’t carry the virus. They can carry the virus but they are not sick, but they may be in humans. Get sick.
