Rabies prophylaxis: Definitely if someone is 'rabies exposed' they need professional care to prevent any chance of rabies. This starts by visiting an ER where they can do immediate wound care. Then, rabies immunoglobulin and rabies vaccine can be given, according to the best health recommendations. No one should die from this disease - it is 100% preventable, you just have to make sure you get to the doctor's.
