I've never been bitten, thankfully, but I still want to know. Are rabies shots still given around the belly button area once a day for about 14 days, or are they now administered in the shoulder area once a week for about 5 or 6 weeks straight?
@1958boomergirl Well, it depends where you live. In Boston, I went through the series of shots. I got two shots in my butt and then one in each arm. Then a week and some days later I got another two shots in each arm. This went on for about 5 rounds of shots. Wasn't bad at all.
@JoeFGale No, not zombie timee - this is rabies. Rabies is real - it can be found all over the world. And, once the symptoms appear, it's always nearly fatal. There is one girl, Jeanna Giese, who survived.
@rabiesaware you obviously dont know about the mutated strain in arizona that the CDC lost control of the human infected would be like zombies except living people that are animalistic ive typed this thing athousand times i dont feel like typing the whole storyy
@TheBinweevilsdude No place is rabies free. Britain may be thought to be, but some animal somewhere in Britain has rabies, and if Britain is "rabies free" currently, it only takes one animal to ruin that.
@chodoboy69 You're absolutely right. I just google image search rabies and then I find a super closeup of rabiesvirus and I please myself in a matter of minutes
Even the flu virus, if left untreated can be fatal. Getting all your shots is the best way to stay save. In fact, the current vaccines against Rabies is so effective that many isolated countries (animal wise) like the UK and Japan have totally eradicated Rabies from their ground-borne mammal population. If you are bit by an animal, you should ALWAYS see a doctor anyways.
@Hagakure1986 The trouble is, you can treat the flu once you show symptoms. With rabies, by the time you start showing symptoms it's too late. There is that I know of only one treatment for symptomatic rabies and it' the Milwaukee Protocol and even that has a very low success rate at saving lives. Rabies is scary.
@juliewashere88 You're right - once the symptoms of rabies manifest - it's too late. Jeanna Giese is the young woman who survived rabies due to the Milwaukee Protocol. If you search on You Tube for "The Girl Who Survived Rabies," you can learn about her story. She's one amazing strong young woman!
@rabiesaware I got my first one about 12 hours after the bite. It took me 7 hours after I first walked into the emergency room to finally get the shot. It seems no one was taking the danger seriously.
@juliewashere88 Yeah, you can wait a long time in ERs, but 7 hours - that's a really long time to wait. But, the most important thing is that you're going through the rounds of shots. Good going! Hang in there!
@juliewashere88 That's the difference between doctors in human medicine and veterinary medicine. Veterinarians known the serious public health implications of rabies, whereas many doctors, especially in the ER, have no idea what constitutes post-exposure prophylaxis in humans.

It's really not the animals' fault. Bats don't want to be in your house - they get in by mistake. Wild animals are all around us - you've just got to respect them, stay away from them.
I wish you'd post this (or at least your message) on all these vids on youtube of stupid people who make raccoons as pets because they think they're "cute". Makes me sick that people are so uninformed about them...and the possibility of rabies.
With a raccoon bite, people usually know that raccoons can carry rabies, so they get the shots. Raccoon attacks in the U.S. and Canada occur quite often. As far as the raccoon "related" variant, it's my understanding that if a dog is bit by a rabid raccoon and contracts rabies - it's not called canine rabies, but it is raccoon rabies. As far as people dying from raccoon rabies, the the Rabies Division of the CDC is definitely the place to find out. Many thanks for watching our video.
At the height of the rabies disease history in the U.S.we had 100 deaths per year in a 50 million population. By today's numbers that would be 600 deaths per annum.
We spend over "ONE BILLION" dollars every year on "rabies vaccines" which translates to almost "SEVENTEEN MILLION" dollars per person saved.
All this and you are still more likely to die from a leaky natural gas appliance (10 times) But I guess plumbers can't get one billion a year like drug companies can, so the slaughter continues
@eyestoC You do realize that one billion dollars is the reason there are so few deaths. Without the vaccine rabies is 99.99% fatal. That one billion dollars (which is not the amount I have no idea how you came up with that. Because morbidity and mortality weekly (CDC) just did an article about over 700 people and over 500 animals receiving the vaccine after an exposure event totaling about $600,000) is still not enough to fulfill the need for the vaccine. I am an infectious disease specialist
and you have no idea how horrible it is to have to tell a person bitten by a wild animal "well we're going to get you the vaccine as soon as possiblebut there's a shortage." (which also had to do with uncontrollable circumstances at the manufacturer but still)
@christinab624 Maybe it is time for a CEU class, I am surprised that you do not know the difference
between the redundant vaccine costs mandated from upon high to the pet owning public and the PEP (post exposure prophylaxis) treatments to which you referred. (PEP costs about $1800-3000 per treatment which is a nice markup for $3 worth of chemicals, gotta love big-pharma) All the vaccines in all the cats and dogs will not stop one bat (primary vector) from contracting rabies.
Thank you for bringing awareness to this horrifying disease. The Zach Jones story particularly scares me because he had no visible wounds. If a bat bites or scratches you while you're asleep, and you don't see the animal or any sign that it had contact with you, how would you ever know to get vaccinated? This type of situation is why there needs to be not only prevention, but a cure.
Many thanks for watching. What we're trying to do is just get the word out there that rabies does exist in the U.S. And, worldwide, rabies kills over 55,000 people a year. It's really a horrible virus.
An infected dog can go without symptoms from weeks to a year (no kidding). Meantime, if it gets any saliva on an open wound, say like you have a cut and the dog licks you, it can infect other hosts. People, that's why you GET YOUR PETS VACCINATED!!!
should start making an airborne rabies virus

Since you are so informed can you please tell us
exactly how many people have ever died from "Raccoon rabies"
My research totals exactly "one" in history,
"yeah one" and this young man had no contact with a raccoon to his knowledge.The CDC called it a raccoon "related" variant
Correct me if I am wrong--please!
