1. If used properly, the correct preventive measures, then the person who is bitten by rabid animals do not suffer because of the possibility of rabies. People bitten to death by rabbits, rodents (including squirrels, mice) do not require further treatment, because very few animals infected with rabies. However, when bitten by wild animals (skunks, raccoons, foxes, bats) the need for further treatment of these animals may be infected with rabies.
2. Preventive measures are the most important thing was to handle the bite wound as soon as possible. Bite area with soap and clean puncture spray soapy water. If the wound has been cleared, the patient who has never been immune rabies vaccination rabies immune globulin, in which half of the dose injected into the bite.
