Rabies does not necessarily occur. Whether rabies will occur is closely related to factors such as the severity of the wound and the condition of the injured person. Although rabies virus is a disease with a relatively high case fatality rate, which can reach 100%, timely vaccination with rabies vaccine after infection with rabies virus generally has a good effect and basically does not cause illness.

Symptoms of different stages of rabies:

1. Prodromal stage. Patients may experience fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, drowsiness, and inexplicable fear and anxiety.

2. Exciting period. Manic type: There are symptoms of fear of wind and water. The patient's swallowing muscles spasm and cannot swallow food; Paralytic type: Only atypical symptoms such as high fever, headache, and vomiting.

3. Paralysis period. It usually lasts 6-18 hours, with general numbness and paralysis.

4. Death. After the period of paralysis comes death.
