What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Rabies in Humans?
Early signs of rabies in humans include fever, tiredness, and irritability. Later symptoms include seizures, hallucinations, and paralysis. Rabies symptoms can take days, weeks, or even months to appear after an animal bite.
Rabies doesn't always show up right away. Symptoms can appear days, weeks, or even months after a dog bite or other exposure. This delay can make people think they're safe when they aren't.
Early rabies symptoms are often mild and easy to mistake for other illnesses. These include fever, fatigue, and irritability. As the virus spreads, more serious symptoms develop, such as seizures, hallucinations, and paralysis.
By the time these symptoms appear, rabies is almost always fatal. Don't wait for signs of illness. Get an anti-rabies vaccine as soon as possible after any possible exposure.
If you have been bitten or scratched, book your animal bite service appointment and visit an animal bite center as soon as possible. A nurse or physician on-site can assess your wound and tell you what anti-rabies treatment you need.
