Frequently Asked Questions.
We are most likely to be infected by our common household pets, such as cats and dogs, or wild animals like, mongoose, jackals, etc.
The virus can be transmitted in one of three ways:
1) either by being bitten by an infected animal,
2) or through direct contact (such as through broken skin or mucous membranes in the eyes, nose, or mouth) with saliva (from a lick) or brain/nervous system tissue from an infected animal,
3) or through a scratch from an infected animal.
When you are exposed to one of the above methods of transmission, you need to wash the infected area with running water and soap for at least 10-15 minutes before seeking medical attention. This assists with preventing the spread of the virus to the rest of the nervous system.
If you act immediately and visit the nearest healthcare professional as soon as possible, you stand a chance of surviving the virus.
When you show any symptoms, your chances are zero to none for survival.
