What are the first signs of rabbies in a human?

Answer 1

My cousin got bit by a fox feeding his chickens and he shot the fox but where he got bit really swelled up, he waited 2 wks before he went to the doc, his arm was bloated and he was foamin out the mouth. The hospital gave him 40 shots to cure him.
He definely had rabies but healed up and is still feeding his chickens.

Answer 2

The rabies virus travels through the nervous system, eventually inflaming the brain. Early symptoms include irritability, headache, fever, and sometimes itching or pain at the site of the bite. The disease eventually progresses to paralysis, spasms of the throat muscles, convulsions, and delirium. Without preventive treatment, it is fatal.

The time between exposure and symptoms is usually 2 to 12 weeks, but it can be much less or much longer.

In the United States, rabies in humans is rare because most pets are vaccinated against the disease. Only 36 cases have been reported since 1980, 21 of them linked to bats. Each year, about 40,000 people receive treatment for bites from potentially infected animals to prevent rabies.

Answer 3

Early symptoms of rabies in humans are flu-like sypmtoms, things like fevers, headaches, achy body and feeling like you have a cold or the flu.

As the disease progresses you'll get symptoms like "...insomnia, anxiety, confusion, slight or partial paralysis, excitation, hallucinations, agitation, hypersalivation, difficulty swallowing, and hydrophobia (fear of water). Death usually occurs within days of the onset of symptoms."

Answer 4

If you are asking this question, you (or whoever) needs to go to the hospital NOW! don't even put your shoes on.

After humans start showing symptoms, they rarely survive, I think there is only one documented case of someone living despite showing symptoms.

GO! RIGHT NOW!
