A member asked:
Why do they say rabies takes 1-2 weeks to kill a human once symptoms manifest, however in all case reports i read they had symptoms earlier then that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rabies: It depends on when you define symptomatic. It is usually months from time of bite before symptoms. However, once overt symptoms of encephalitis develop then it can be only weeks.
