“During the next 10 minutes, at least one person will die from rabies,” warned the Global Alliance for Rabies Control (GARC), in celebration of the World Rabies Day on 28 September 2015.

Rabies is a viral disease transmitted through bite, scratches or saliva of an infected mammal.  The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that more than 99% of human cases are caused by domestic dogs.

Rabies can be in furious or paralytic form. WHO stated that victims with furious rabies exhibit hyperactivity, excited behavior, and hydrophobia (fear of water), followed by death through cardiac arrest. People with paralytic rabies, on the other hand, experience muscle paralysis to coma and death.
