Why is it so important to get medial treatment immediately after exposure?
After someone is infected with rabies, symptoms usually develop within 20-60 days. Once symptoms begin, death usually follows. Therefore, rabies immunization must begin as soon as possible if the animal can’t be contained for the appropriate quarantine period in order to prevent the appearance of symptoms.
