🚨 Rabies Alert in Bangkok 🚨

[Health Deliver]

Yesterday Thai PBS reported a rabies alert for several areas in and around Bangkok, including Nong Bon, Dok Mai, Prawet, On Nut, Phatthanakan, Thap Chang, Lat Krabang, Bang Na Nuea, Bang Chak, Bang Kaew, and Racha Thewa (plus a 5km radius).

👉 Rabies is a fatal but preventable disease. It spreads through the bite or scratch of infected animals, most commonly stray dogs or cats. Once symptoms appear, it is almost always fatal — which is why prevention and fast response are critical.

What you should know:

• Avoid contact with stray animals in the alert areas.

• If bitten or scratched:

  1. Wash the wound immediately with soap and running water for at least 15 minutes.

  2. Apply antiseptic.

  3. Seek medical care immediately for vaccination (post-exposure treatment).

• People at higher risk (expats, children, outdoor workers, travellers) should consider pre-exposure vaccination for extra protection.
