When the virus gets into the body, the symptom can sometimes take a while to develop.

Krabi Provincial Public Health Office have announced a warning to local residents after finding 6 dogs with rabies infection yesterday (March 20). Officials are reminding all people that if they are bitten, scratched or licked by stray dog or cat, to seek medical attention and get a rabies PEP vaccine.

 

The Chief of Krabi Provincial Public Health Office, Dr. Apichai Limanon, said that the rabies situation in Krabi deserves attention because after checking 10 suspected dogs from 2017 – 2018 from Lamtab District, 6 of them are rabies-infected and there are at least 13 people who have had direct contact with these dogs. They people are being monitored and have received the rabies PEP.

 

“Many people have misconception about rabies. Many of them think that rabies is curable so whenever they get a minor bite or are scratched or their open wound is touched by dog / cat saliva, they don’t clean the wound properly and then don’t go to hospital to receive the vaccine.

Why not warn the tourists as well, while they're still home of course and can easy change their holidaydestination.?

more than 12 people died in one road accident yesterday in Thailand. 27,000 people die of road accidents in Thailand in one year and 6 people die of rabies in one year. 

The whole rabies scare is nonsense but feeds into the humans who want to kill

everything in life like a few posters on this forum

You need to broaden your mind a little bit at least, and then maybe you will be capable of critical and logical thinking
