Dogs are animals living in the population that are loved and also feared. Dog bites cause fatal diseases like rabies, which kill thousands of people every year. World Rabies Day is celebrated every year on 28 september to spread awareness about diseases like rabies.
What is rabies disease?
Rabies disease spreads due to the bite of an infected animal. This disease spreads due to the bite of dogs, monkeys and cats and the germs found in the saliva of these infected animals mix with the blood and spread the infection. Although nowadays pets have started getting rabies vaccine, stray animals are not able to get rabies vaccine and that is why they get infected and become carriers of rabies disease.
Rabies virus affects the nervous system
If you see, every day there are news of people getting injured due to dog bites in newspapers. Let us tell you that dog bite increases the risk of rabies. Rabies virus directly affects the central nervous system of a person. The symptoms of this disease appear late due to which people ignore it. Even today in villages, people apply turmeric, chilli and lime on the wound after dog bite. Here people do not go to the doctor and do not even get rabies injection, due to which the patient's risk of getting rabies increases.
Every year so many deaths occur worldwide due to dog bites
Every year around 20 thousand people die due to dog bites across the country. On the other hand, if we talk about the world, then the figures say that every year around 60 thousand people die worldwide due to dog bites. In such a situation, it is important that awareness about rabies is spread and people can get information about its symptoms and prevention.
