    Symptoms of the rabies Disease. The rabies epidmic is spreading quickly. Thismeans that the threat of rabies could be as close as your own backyard.  
    http://www.abap.org/rabies.htm
    
    Extractions: A Breed Apart The rabies epidmic is spreading quickly. This means that the threat of rabies could be as close as your own backyard. Rabies can infect any mammal including humans, but wild raccoons, foxes, skunks, and bats are the most common carriers of rabies and the most likely animals to expose your pets to this deadly disease. Rabies is a virus that effects the brain and spinal cord. It is transmitted when body fluids (especially saliva) of an infected animal touch the broken skin or mucus membranes, mouth, nose or eyes of other animals or people. Once infected, animals can carry the virus for six months before showing any symptoms. See below for a list of symptoms. Remember, there is NO CURE for rabies once an animal or human shows symptoms . Because of the seriousness of this disease, it is important for people to learn everything they can do to minimize their chances and their pets of becoming infected. Firstly, all contact with wild animals, especially bats, skunks, foxes and racoons should be avoided by you and your pets. People should not handle baby or injured wild animals and pets should not be allowed to roam at will or hunt. Scrupulous attention should be paid to vaccination expiration dates. An animal whose vaccination has expired has no more protection against rabies than an animal who has not been vaccinated at all! Dogs and cats should be vaccinated against rabies beginning at twelve to sixteen weeks followed by a booster 9 months to one year later. Boosters are then given every 1-3 years (depending on the vaccine and local laws). Dogs and cats are required by law to be vaccinated for rabies. In the face of an all out epidemic other domestic and farm animals can be vaccinated also.

    Extractions: This was Erica's senior class picture. She had it taken with her beloved pet, Aspen. Aspen died in December of 1998 to prove that he did not have rabies. Had there been an approved rabies vaccine and quarantine period in this country for skunks, Aspen would still be alive and well and brightening the Mills home. You can read Aspen's story on our background page. When you ask the average American what their thoughts are on skunks you get descriptions like: This statement, with its misconceptions and misinformation , could not be further from the truth! In fact, wild skunks prefer to avoid contact with humans and other animals. They are very quiet, non-aggressive, solitary creatures, willing to live and let live. It is true that they can spray, if they feel that they are in danger. It is also true that if one gets sprayed by a skunk, they stay "fragrant" for quite some time. Skunks do not want to spray, however, and give plenty of warning before doing so. They only spray as a very last resort. Skunks can contract rabies, and so can any other unvaccinated mammal. They are no more prone to rabies than any other mammal. Wild skunks are an important part of our ecosystem. They could be called "Nature's Sanitation Engineers". They rid the environment of rats, mice, cockroaches, harmful garden pests (snails, grubs, all insects, gophers, moles), even poisonous animals (rattlesnakes, black widow spiders, scorpions), and "road kill" (which can cause accidents and spread disease).

64. Rabies - Overview, Incidence, Transmission & Causes - AnimalHealthChannel
    A discussion about rabies which is transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. A look at the symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prevention.  
    http://www.animalhealthchannel.com/rabies/
    
    Extractions: Rabies is a disease that can be easily passed from wild carnivores to unvaccinated pets and livestock, as well as to humans. It is caused by the rabies virus, which is present in the saliva of infected animals and transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. Once infection occurs, the virus spreads to the central nervous system and causes encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Rabies is almost always fatal. Safe and effective pet vaccinations and postexposure treatment for humans, as well as effective animal control, have eliminated rabies in dogs. In many parts of the world where vaccinations for pets and postexposure treatment for people are not available, rabies remains a serious health threat for animals and for humans. Rabies kills more than 35,000 people every year, mostly in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

68. Answers To Questions About Bats And Rabies
    Answers to Questions About Bats and rabies The following information was most recentlyupdated on January 7, 1998. What is rabies, and how is it transmitted?  
    http://www.batcon.org/rabies.html
    
    Extractions: Bat rabies accounts for approximately one human death per year in the United States. Thus, some people consider bats to be dangerous. Nevertheless, dogs which are equally often considered "man's best friend," attack and kill more humans annually than die from bat rabies in a decade. Statistically speaking, pets, playground equipment, and sports are far more dangerous than bats. Clearly, bats do not rank very high among mortality threats to humans. Nevertheless, prudence and simple precautions can save lives. What is rabies, and how is it transmitted? Rabies is an infectious viral disease that invades the central nervous system of humans and other warm-blooded animals. A wide variety of mammals can contract the disease, but it is most often noticed in dogs, cats, foxes, raccoons, skunks, coyotes, bats, and livestock. Worldwide, more than 30,000 humans die of rabies each year, 99% of cases resulting from contact with dogs. In the United States, due to highly successful dog vaccination programs, transmission from dogs is now rare, eliminating the vast majority of human cases. Rabies is nearly always transmitted by bite, though non-bite exposures can result from contact between infected saliva or nervous tissues and open wounds or mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, or mouth. Careless handling is the primary source of rabies exposure from bats.

70. Answers To Questions About Bats And Rabies
    Answers to Questions About Bats and rabies rabies Answers to Questions rabies History of US Cases What is rabies, and how is it transmitted?  
    http://www.batcon.org/discover/rabies.html
    
    Extractions: At the 29th Annual North American Symposium on Bat Research held at the University of Wisconsin in October 1999, Merlin Tuttle proposed a resolution concerning the responses to incidents of bat bites. After much discussion and careful review of this resolution the Board of Directors of the Symposium adopted the following resolution. Be it resolved on this 30th day of October 1999, that researchers gathered at the 29th North American Symposium on Bat Research find no credible support for the hypothesis that undetected bites by bats are a significant factor in transmitting rabies to humans, as implied by the January 16, 1998 issue of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. In our collective experience, bats seldom are aggressive, even when sick, and humans typically feel and recognize any bites they receive. The undetected bite hypothesis is derived from the inability of medical professionals to interview patients due to late moribund or postmortem diagnoses. In the rare cases in which humans contract rabies from bats, the available evidence strongly suggests that bite histories could have been remembered and reported by coherent patients. We are deeply concerned about the negative consequences of the undetected bite hypothesis, as it appears to have moved from hypothesis to fact without adequate testing. The consequences are both economic and social. The economic costs are clear, and the social impact is seen, both in the way that people react to bats and in the way that conservation efforts are impeded. The undetected bite hypothesis is not supported by evidence, and it should not drive public policy or public health responses.

    http://healthlinks.washington.edu/nwcphp/rabies/
    
    Extractions: June, 1998 Throughout human history, few illnesses have provoked as much anxiety as has rabies. Known as a distinct entity since at least 500 B.C., rabies has been the subject of myths and legends across time and cultures. And while the incidence of human cases in the US has declined markedly over several decades, rabies continues to inspire dread today. The recent deaths of two Washington residents from rabies and the highly-publicized discovery of bats in the Governor's Mansion have lead to heightened public concern about rabies in this state. Amidst this concern is a great deal of misinformation about the disease. This guide is designed to provide practitioners the information they need to prevent rabies. It is meant to be used by practicing physicians and other health care providers, veterinarians, local health department staff, and animal control personnel. The information contained herein is an amalgamation of the observations and recommendations of a number of agencies and organizations. It is divided into five major sections: The clinical features of rabies (in humans and other animals) The epidemiology of rabies How to evaluate encounters with a potentially rabid animal Details about laboratory testing of animals in Washington

    Extractions: Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed Rabies, an RNA virus, is most commonly transmitted by animal bites. The reservoir for the rabies virus in the U.S. encompasses a number of different animals, but is found predominantly in the skunk. Other hosts include fox, cows, and dogs. In addition, bats apparently transmit rabies without themselves being infected. Another important point is that, although small laboratory rodents can be infected with rabies experimentally, the disease in man rarely, if ever, occurs following a mouse or guinea pig bite. Microscopically, there are three characteristic findings in rabies encephalitis which will be demonstrated on the next four slides. The first characteristic, shown here , is that found in all cases of encephalitis, namely lymphocytic infiltrates concentrated in the meninges and around parenchymal vessels. The second characteristic is the typical glial nodule , another nonspecific finding seen in most types of encephalitis. The third, and virtually diagnostic, characteristic is the Negri body, which is an eosinophilic, cytoplasmic inclusion with a basophilic core. A Negri body is located just to the right of the neuronal nucleus in this photomicrograph.

    rabies is a serious infection of the nervous system that is often transmittedby an animal bite. Read this article recognize the symptoms.  
    http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/bacterial_viral/rabies.html
    
    Extractions: Rabies is a very serious infection of the nervous system that is caused by a virus. Rabies is usually transmitted by a bite from an infected animal, and humans who develop a rabies infection often have a history of being bitten by an animal about a month before rabies symptoms began. Rabies starts with a PRODROMAL PERIOD (premonitory symptoms indicating the beginning of a disease) that usually lasts for 1 to 4 days. Symptoms during this prodromal period include: fever, headache, malaise (a generally ill feeling); muscle aches; loss of appetite; nausea; vomiting; sore throat; cough; and fatigue. There may also be a tingling or twitching sensation around the area of the animal bite. This is the one most specific symptom of rabies at this stage of the rabies infection. After the prodromal period, a second stage begins with symptoms that look like those of an encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). There may be fever as high as 105 degrees F (40.6 degrees C) with any of the following symptoms: irritability; excessive movements or agitation; confusion; hallucinations; aggressiveness; bizarre or abnormal thoughts; muscle spasms; abnormal postures; seizure (convulsions); weakness or paralysis (person cannot move some part of the body); extreme sensitivity to bright lights, sounds, or touch; increased production of saliva or tears. Also, there may be inability to speak as the vocal cords become paralyzed.

    Extractions: You may have heard of the disease called rabies . For example, if you have ever read the book, OLD YELLER , by Fred Gipson, you know that both people and animals can get rabies. But do you know how rabies is spread or how a doctor treats it? Read this article for kids to get the answers to these questions and more. What Is It? Rabies is spread in the saliva of an infected animal . You can get rabies if a rabid animal bites or scratches you. An animal or person who has rabies is called rabid. Most animals with fur can get rabies, although usually not rabbits or rodents. Wild animals, such as raccoons, skunks, foxes, woodchucks, coyotes, and bats, often carry it. Pets can also get rabies from wild animals. If you have any animal that has fur, such as a dog, a cat, or even a pet ferret, it can catch rabies if it is bitten or scratched by a rabid animal. Other pets without fur, such as birds, fish, turtles, and snakes, cannot carry rabies.

80. THE BIG SCAM--RABIES VACCINATION
    THE BIG SCAMrabies VACCINATION. I would like to give you, the reader, thetruth about the so called required vaccinations, particularly rabies.  
    http://www.naturalrearing.com/ARTICLES/GuestAuthors/RABIESSCAM.html
    
    Extractions: Genetic Engineering THE BIG SCAMRABIES VACCINATION By: Dr. John Fudens, D.V.M. I would like to give you, the reader, the truth about the so called required vaccinations, particularly rabies. There are two basic forms of law. One is the legal Constitutional and Common law that this country was founded on, and the other is "colorable" law passed by Administrative agencies/bureaucrats who have been given so called authority to pass laws. Black's Law Dictionary 5 th Edition defines colorable law as "That which is in appearance only, and not in reality, what purports to be, hence counterfeit, feigned, having the appearance of truth." Yes, I study the law, am a paralegal, and have an extensive law library. So any and all mandatory rabies vaccination programs are colorable law, in that they have been passed and mandated upon the pet owning public by certain vested interest groups. Who are these groups? First and foremost are veterinarians, in general, and veterinarian medical organizations. Second are the local animal control personnel, bureaucrats and politicians. What are their reasons? GREED, POWER AND CONTROL. Both these large powerful interest groups stand to benefit greatly by having rabies mandated by colorable law. Veterinarians receive a large percentage of both their gross income and profit from vaccines given in the office. On average vaccines cost 60 to 95 cents per dose and are charged to the client at $15 to $25 per injection and substantially more in the large cities. Therefore, if veterinarians lobby to have a colorable law passed to give rabies vaccine every year that enhances their financial picture.
