Good luck V.    This rabies treatments aren’t no joke and take time to get you right.    Hit that bastard with a bat and throw it in box , UPS it to SMOLDY FOR TOMORROW DINNER

I think I read that rabies is a very slow acting disease, that if you were bitten and infected you would prob have no symptoms at all for many months(maybe 6) at which point it would be too late and you'll die.

Sometimes it might take years to develop.

Incubation Period for Rabies

The incubation period is the time between exposure to the virus and the first appearance of symptoms. The period can run anywhere 30 to 90 days on average but may be shorter or longer based on the host and viral factors.

 

How Many Years Later Can Rabies Take Effect?

Incubation periods longer than one year are exceptionally rare, but it can happen. There have been reports of rabies symptoms beginning years after exposure, including one case of a man who developed symptoms more than 20 years after a dog bite.2

Prodromal Period

The prodromal period is described by the first appearance of symptoms. This is when the virus first enters the central nervous system and begins to cause damage.

 

The prodromal phase tends to run from two to 10 days on average and may cause such symptoms as:

 
  • Fever
  • Itching (pruritus)
  • Tingling or burning sensation at the site of the exposure (known as paresthesia)1
  • Fatigue
  • Headache
  • Anxiety
  • Irritability
  • Chills
  • Insomnia3
  • A general feeling of unwellness (malaise)
  • Loss of appetite (anorexia)
  • A sore, swollen throat (pharyngitis)4
 

Acute Neurologic Period

The acute neurologic period lasts anywhere from two to ten days and will almost invariably end in death. The types and characteristics of symptoms can vary, depending largely on how severe or mild the initial exposure was.

 

Furious rabies is the type most people with experience.5 As its name suggests, this form of rabies is characterized by violent physical and neurologic symptoms. Symptoms may come and go, and will often be interspersed with moments of calm and lucidity.6 Death will most often be caused by cardiorespiratory arrest.4

 

Paralytic rabies accounts for about 20% of cases and will cause muscles to gradually weaken, starting from the site of the exposure and expanding outward. Paralysis and death will eventually ensue (usually by respiratory failure).3

 

Atypical rabies is a type most often associated with bat bites. It may involve symptoms from both furious and paralytic forms of the disease. The variations in symptoms and severity can often make it hard to recognize a case as rabies.7

 

Symptoms of rabies occurring during the acute neurologic period may include:6

 
  • Agitation
  • Hyperactivity
  • Hyperventilation
  • Excessive salivation
  • Hydrophobia (a distressing symptom characterized by an unquenchable thirst, an inability to swallow, and panic when presented with fluids to drink)
  • Partial paralysis
  • Confusion
  • Vomiting blood1
  • Aggression (including thrashing and biting)
  • Hallucinations
  • Seizures6
  • Priapism (persistent and painful erection of the penis)3
 

These symptoms will soon to lead to a coma as the rabies infection causes massive brain inflammation.6 Without intensive supportive care, death will usually occur within hours or days.

 

Why Are Rabies Patients Afraid of Water?

Hydrophobia results from intense pain and muscle spasms in the throat that make it difficult for a person with rabies to swallow. This may cause avoidance of water, and even the sight or sound of water may come to trigger spasms.3

Go find out sir and report back with findings.
