Rabies

Rabies is a serious infection of the nervous system which can be contracted if someone is bitten or scratched by an animal that carries the rabies virus. Fortunately, very few people get rabies and most cases today are found in wild animals. However, if bitten by an animal that has rabies, quick treatment can prevent the illness.
