　Rabies is transmitted to humans by being bitten by animals such as dogs, cats, foxes, and bats infected with the rabies virus. When infected with the virus, after an incubation period of two weeks or more, neurological symptoms such as convulsions, mania, paralysis, and coma are present, and once it occurs, almost 100% death occurs.
There is no cure, so if you are bitten by a rabies animal, you must be vaccinated during the incubation period to prevent the onset.
　Rabies is not currently occurring in Japan, but occurs in many countries overseas, including Asia, and more than 40,000 to 50,000 people die each year worldwide. Rabies is no wonder at any time invading Japan with active exchanges with overseas.
