• How to Prevent The Spread of Rabies

• Rabies is a preventable disease. Some suggestions for how to prevent rabies include keeping your pet vaccinations current, keeping your pets under direct supervision, calling your local animal control agency to remove stray animals, and avoiding direct contact with any unknown animals. If you are traveling to a developing country in Africa, Asia, or Latin America, it's particularly important to know how to prevent rabies; the disease kills tens of thousands of people each year in such countries.

• How can rabies be treated?

• Once you have been bitten by a rabid or potentially rabid creature, you need to go to your doctor. After they stop telling you that you’re crazy, then you can remind them that rabies is a pretty big deal and stuff. And you like the whole idea of living. You will want to talk to your doctor and tell them when you were first exposed to the virus in order to give them a time frame in which the treatment should take place.

• Do You Need Antibiotics or Another Type of Medication to Treat Rabies

• Four formulations of three inactivated rabies virus vaccines are licensed for use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Two RIG formulations are also FDA-licensed.

Although the four types of inactivated-rabies vaccines and the two RIGs are the only rabies vaccines available in the United States, various other rabies vaccines are produced throughout the world. Although inactivated-rabies vaccines from diploid cell cultures are safe and effective, they are expensive. In developing countries, rabies vaccines often contain nerve tissue which can cause adverse effects. Various less expensive but safe and effective vaccines are under development.
