More About Rabies
When a rabid animal bites a human, the individual becomes exposed to a disease called rabies. The disease works its way through the nervous system, eventually reaching the brain. When it is not treated in time, it will result in death. Because of the seriousness of this disease, it’s vital to receive medical attention as soon as possible.
Symptoms of rabies are similar to flu. People tend to experience weakness, headaches, and fevers in the beginning, and then followed by symptoms that affect the brain. This could include insomnia, anxiety, confusion, hallucinations, paralysis, and more.
What To Do If You’ve Been Bitten
If a bat or any other wild animal has bitten or scratched you, then it’s important to take precautions to ensure you are protected from rabies. First, you must be sure to keep the animal, so that you can take it in to get it tested. If it comes back that the creature have rabies, then it’s important for you to go to the doctor and receive a series of shots to avoid further discomfort or effects from the bite. If at all possible, avoid trying to remove bats yourself. Here are some common mistakes that can happen when people try do-it-yourself bat removal.
