“Rabies in humans is verv rare,”
the health officer said, pointing out
that there were only 6 cases in

he noted there is always danger,
and in humans the disease is al

However, he pointed out that the
bite of a rabid animal will pro

fibers.
Taking the anti-rabid treatment
is a matter left entirely up to in
