Zhou Qinyi introduced that rabies are infectious diseases of acute central systems caused by rabies virus. It is a infectious disease with a high mortality of people, beasts (animal). Water, flow and pharyngeal muscle spasm, eventually paralyzed and killed.

It is understood that animals with rabies are the source of the disease. Zhou Qinyi pointed out that in the world, dogs are the main natural hosts of rabies virus. The main source of infection of rabies in my country is the diseased dog, followed by cats, pigs, cattle, horses and other livestock. It is worth noting that any mammals can infect rabies, and then spread the disease to another mammal.

Animals (dogs, cats, wolves, foxes, bats, etc.) who are infected with rabies virus bite, scratch, lick the injured skin and mucous membrane damage into the human body, and people may be infected with rabies virus. A few can be slaughtered, peeled, cut, cut Infected during the process.

Zhou Qinyi introduced that rabies have different durations of incubation. Most of them occur within 1-3 months. The latent period can last for more than 10 years, and the shortcomings are less than a week. The length of the incubation period is related to the age, the wound site, the depth of the wound, the number of invasion of the virus and the virus.

After being bitten by animals, it will not show clinical symptoms until the rabies virus walk through the peripheral nerve tissue to the brain tissue.

Once entering the brain tissue (usually 1-3 months after bite), rabies virus can cause a variety of non-specific symptoms: systemic discomfort, fatigue, headache, and full body weakness or uncomfortable. Sometimes I feel discomfort or tingling or itching at the biting part.

With the development of the brain, the specific symptoms are more obvious, including: insomnia, anxiety, confusion, mild or partial paralysis, hallucination, saliva (adding saliva), difficulty swallowing, and characteristic symptoms of rabies (fear water). By clinical symptoms: paralysis and mania. In the end, the patient fell into a coma and eventually died of heart or lung failure.

How to prevent bite by animals such as dogs?

(1) The fundamental to prevent rabies is to strengthen the management of dogs, pay attention to civilized dogs, and dog breeders should pay attention to led the rope when walking the dog.

(2) Do not suddenly reach out or take stones, wooden sticks and other items when feeding dogs, so as not to cause unnecessary bite.

(3) Do not suddenly reach out when you meet animals such as dogs and cats in daily life, and do not run desperately.

(4) When being threatened by the dog, you should stop or throw Dongxi to attract his attention. You should not scream or run. At the same time, you should avoid your eyes and dogs, and then turn around slowly until the dog looks elsewhere.

(5) The breeder of dogs in the family performs an immunoscope with rabies vaccine and is only a rabies vaccine for dogs.

What should I do if they are bitten by animals such as dogs?

Wash! Two disinfection! Third, inoculate rabies vaccine as soon as possible!

1. Use soapy water (or other weak alkaline cleaners) to clean the bite and scratch for at least 15 minutes with a certain pressure flowing water.

2. Disinfect the wound with iodophor (or 2%iodine, 75%alcohol).

3. The doctor decides whether to suture according to the actual situation. The wound is slightly not sutured.

4. Can use tetanus antidoxin and other anti -infection treatment at the same time to control other infections other than rabies. Inoculation of rabies vaccine, in severe cases of immunoglobulin with anti -rabies or rabies patients. However, all of the above disposal measures cannot guarantee 100%of the breeders without rabies. This is the final line of defense.
