Can rabies kill you?

Rabies has always been a great threat to life. Many animals with rabies are at risk of death, including humans. Rabies cannot be ruled out as a fatality because it is a brain and spinal disease that can cause a variety of complications in our bodies and even organ failure. Therefore, these precautions must be taken after rabies occurs to avoid life-threatening situations.

Diet and Health Care 1. What foods are good for the body when suffering from rabies?

1. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.

2. Provide protein foods that are easily digestible and absorbable, such as milk, eggs, fish, soy products, etc.

2. What foods should people with rabies avoid eating?

(1) Avoid spicy and hot foods: Spicy foods such as chili, pepper, mustard; spicy foods such as mutton, dog meat and other stimulating foods can aggravate the condition.

(2) Avoid salty, cold, and sweet foods: Salty and cold foods such as pickles and salted turtles can cause coughing, which is not conducive to the patient's rest and aggravates the symptoms. Sweet foods such as snacks, cakes, and barley can also cause the spleen and stomach to function poorly and aggravate coughing, which is not conducive to the patient's rest and aggravates the symptoms. They should be avoided.

(3) Avoid alcohol and coffee: Both can stimulate nerve excitement, induce manic attacks in patients, and aggravate the condition.

(4) Avoid eating foods that may cause irritation. Such as fish, shrimp, crab, chicken head, pork head, goose meat, chicken wings, chicken feet, etc.

Prevention and care Currently, there is still a lack of effective treatment for rabies, and the mortality rate is close to 100%. Therefore, it is necessary to vigorously strengthen prevention work and quickly control the spread and prevalence of rabies. Carry out extensive publicity of basic knowledge on rabies prevention and treatment.

1. Do a good job in animal management and control the source of infection? At present, it is unrealistic to completely ban dog ownership in our country. The practices of European and American countries show that strengthening management is better than simple prohibition. Breeders should register their dogs and ensure that they are vaccinated. If you find stray dogs or rabid dogs, they should be captured and killed immediately. Any suspected rabid dog should be captured and isolated for observation for 10 days. If the animal is not dead, it is not rabies; if symptoms appear or death occurs, brain tissue should be removed for examination, and terminal disinfection should be performed, and the animal should be buried deeply or burned. Do not skin it.
