What Are The Symptoms of Rabies In Humans?

September 5, 2023 | by Sravani Pathakamuri | Posted in FAQ's

Rabies symptoms in humans typically progress in stages:

1. Prodromal Stage:
   • Fever
   • Headache
   • Fatigue
   • Nausea and vomiting
   • Pain, itching, or tingling at the site of the bite
2. Acute Neurological Stage:
   • Agitation, anxiety, and confusion
   • Hallucinations
   • Excessive saliva production (foaming at the mouth)
   • Difficulty swallowing
   • Muscle spasms, especially in the throat and diaphragm
   • Paralysis
3. Coma and Death:
   • Once symptoms progress to this stage, it’s often fatal.

Rabies is a medical emergency, and if you suspect exposure to the virus, seek immediate medical attention. Rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear, so it’s crucial to receive post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) before symptoms develop if you’ve been bitten or scratched by a potentially rabid animal.
