A member asked:
Can a person transmit rabies to another person if hes just been bitten? or does it take at least a week for the virus to get into the saliva for him to pass it to another? i have bad anxiety because of this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not immediate, a week if at all and at the time they would be symptomatic and preparing to die.
