Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] My friend was bitten by his pet dog 10 years back. He didnt tell this to anyone and never consulted with any doctor. That dog was healthy and it was small and my friend doesnt remember how that dog has died or after how long. Is there any chances of him affecting with rabies in future?
[|AI|]  Helots is a very interesting question, as note down. Incubation period for RABIES is 1 to 3 months in human but can be up to more than 1 year. After inoculation (after bite of a rabid dog)into muscle cells, the virus is transmitted from the peripheral nerves to dorsal root ganglia and then to the brain. If that dog had been rabies that may have developed to your friend much earlier, say within 1 to 3 months, but studies say that even after more than 1 years but not after more than 2 years (but in your friend case almost 10 years passed) , so it is 100 % safe. Studies from Grants manual of infectious disease.
