 The study conducted in Patna, Bihar revealed that males are more likely to be bitten by dogs than females and the majority of bites occurred during the summer months. Additionally, the study showed that the majority of bites were of category 3 severity involving the legs and genitals and were inflicted by male dogs. Furthermore, only one-third of dogs who had bitten someone were found to have been vaccinated against rabies. Finally, the study also indicated that most victims sought medical attention within 24 hours of the bite and that they washed the wounds with soap and water afterwards.
