Waiting for symptoms can be fatal.
Today, on World Rabies Day, Datin Sri Dona Drury Wee shares what everyone should know about rabies in humans.
Early symptoms may include fever, headache, weakness, and pain or tingling around the bite. As the disease progresses, confusion, agitation, difficulty swallowing, fear of water and paralysis may develop.
If you are bitten or scratched:
• Wash the wound with soap and running water for 15 minutes
• Seek medical attention immediately
• Complete the treatment advised by your healthcare provider
Don’t wait for symptoms to appear. Acting quickly can save your life.
Watch, learn and share.
Awareness protects communities.
