Dr. Kraisorn Tothapthiang, Director of the Disease Prevention and Control Office 11, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, said rabies is caused by the Rabies virus. It is a contagious disease between animals and humans. Especially mammals infected with rabies bite, scratch or lick areas with wounds. Or the saliva of animals that contain rabies gets into the eyes, mouth, and nose, causing infection. The main animal that is a carrier of the disease is dogs, followed by cats and may also be found in other mammals such as cattle, squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, gibbons, rats, monkeys, etc. Those infected will show symptoms 15 – 60 days after being infected. In some cases it may be less than 10 days or

For more than a year, the first symptoms of the patient were headache, low-grade fever, sore throat, loss of appetite, fatigue, and later itching. It usually starts from the bite wound area, causing a burning sensation and then spreading to other parts. In addition, there will be symptoms of restlessness.

First time when aged 2 – 4 months and stimulated 1 time when aged 6 months to 1 year or as scheduled by the doctor. And next year, give a booster injection once a year.
