Rabies Not Limited to Any Season

According to DR.. o. Mcdaniel, DOG
Days" do not influence the occurrence
OF rabies. The important point. how
ever. is that anyone bitten by a dog
suspected Of being rabtd, regardless
Of the season Of the year, should re
ceive proper attention.
The suspected dog should be kept
under observation for at least two
weeks. II 1t remains well. rabies is
excluded. II 1t becomes sick or dies,
the head should be examined by the
Pasteur Department OF the State
Board Of Health. and the individuals
bitten should report at the depart
ment for treatment.
Rabies IL usually fatal to dogs IN
from three to five days after the first
symptoms are observed. individuals
bitten by rabid dogs, unless under
treatment, become sick In from nve
to nine weeks. The popular belief
that individuals may develop symp
toms several months or years later
is rs false as the belief that Dog Days
cause mad dogs.
