Rabies3

Overview: My comic tells the story of a young man named Chuck who one day was bitten by a dog who had rabies. Chuck didn't know the dog had rabies so he didn't go and see a doctor. Chuck passes away due to his negligence towards the symptoms of the disease in the end. In my comic you will read a few ways to avoid getting rabies and also how to treat rabies. You will also hear the symptoms of rabies and how you contract the disease.

Outline: **__ Overview __** Rabies is a disease that effects the central nervous system and is inherited through animal bites from an animal that is infected with the disease. || **__ Pathology __** || **__ Symptoms __** An animal with rabies may be drooling more than usual or foaming at the mouth. For people rabies starts with flu or cold like symptoms like coughing, fever and sore throat. And later symptoms include hallucinations, restlessness, and finally coma and death. || **__ Acquisition __** Animals that are infected with rabies-rabid animals-can spread the disease through their saliva or brain tissue. People usually get rabies when a rabid animal bites them. || **__ Diagnosis __** Diagnosis of rabies in humans is difficult because the early symptoms resemble those of a cold or flu. || **__ Treatment __** Seek immediate medical help if ever bitten by an animal that you do not know. Rabies is treatable with a series of post exposure prophylaxis injections if treated before symptoms occur, so seek immediate medical attention. || **__ Mortality Rate __** About 80% of cases of actual disease (most actual cases are prevented by rabies shots) || Have house pets vaccinated for rabies. Never touch or try to pet or catch wild animals such as raccoons, skunks, foxes, and coyotes. Teach children to avoid these animals. || **__ Other __** || [] ||
