Rabies

This video is not for the weak hearted. This child had a dog-bite a couple of months ago and did not receive his vaccinations.He now has full blown rabies. he has both aerophobia and hydrophobia - fear of air and water. The child died the next day.
I strongly recommend that you vaccinate your dog and in case of a dog bite see a doctor to decide what to do. Delay and ignorance mean death.

I come from the south of Germany, an area that has been plagued by rabies for centuries. It's forest area, so it's very rampant among deers, foxes, squirells, etc.

Naturally, there are no dogs on the street and ppl have vaccinated their dogs, so there really is no effect on the human population itself.

Knowing very little about it, I was wondering: are there taboos involving (like with bovines animals) in India, which would prevent ppl from vaccinating or, if necessary, culling them off?

@thelearner60 Yes. India has the highest incidence of rabies and rabies death. And the reason is not financial. It's to do with awareness, education about rabies, carelessness and the fact that most dogs are not vaccinated.

Lorazepam is widely available in India. Rabies vaccine is widely available in the country - but there are regions where medical care is scarce.

A lot of the deaths are in areas where the vaccine is available. THAT is the worrying fact.

@jeyanthross So why is thousands upon thousands are dying of it in India every year then? It can't be as rosy as you think it is. Either your one of the middle class in India who live different universe to poor of India or you don't actually live in India because you'd realise that statement you made would be crap.

[jeyanthross]

Well, you certainly have some fixed ideas.

Have a nice day.

@jeyanthross Your patronising idiot and I wouldn't to meet you. I'd rather become a Jehova Witness than have you treat me.

[jeyanthross]

What you say and the language you use says more about you than about anyone else - anyway the discussion is going off topic. i guess you have some personal experience that makes you angry with doctors. Maybe some day we could meet and sort out these differences.

[thelearner60]

Are right so how do I know your doctor because I could say I was a brain surgon but I'm not. And anyway more doctors are f@@king arrogant tossers anyway.

[jeyanthross]

I'm a doctor. That's why I know about rabies and it's treatment and ultimate prognosis.
