Rabies is a viral disease that affects the central nervous system of mammals, including humans. It is mostly transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal, often from a wild species like bats, raccoons, or domestic pets such as dogs and cats. Symptoms of rabies may include fever, headache, excess salivation, muscle spasms, paralysis, and mental confusion. Once clinical symptoms appear, rabies is almost always fatal, necessitating immediate medical intervention following potential exposure to the virus through preventive vaccination.
