A member asked:
Can i take antioxidants to treat a rabies infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but won't help: Rabies is a fatal disease, and rabies shots are needed after exposure to rabies, to prevent the virus from getting to one's brain. Taking antioxidants will not affect the final outcome.
