4. When you think of rabies ?
When you think of rabies, one of the first
things you may envision is a beastly canine
foaming at the mouth – like Stephen King’s
‘Cujo,’ but other animals, including humans
can also become infected with the virus
associated with the condition. There are
different stages, but precautions and home
remedies for rabies can help treat the initial
wounds before a doctor confirms the
diagnosis.

5. What is Rabies?
A virus is responsible for causing the rabies
infection, which affects the brain and spinal
cord (the central nervous system) of mammals,
including humans. If not treated before
symptoms arise, the infection is nearly always
deadly. Animals that become infected with
rabies can spread the disease through their
saliva or through contact with brain tissue. It is
rare for people living in the United States or
Canada to get rabies, as it is more common in
developing nations

6. Causes and Symptoms
Rabies is transmitted to other animals and
humans through close contact with the saliva
from infected animals, such as scratches, bites,
licks on broken skin, and mucous membranes
[2]. The most common way that humans get
rabies is when they are bitten by a rabid
animal. Since dogs in the United States are
required to get rabies vaccines, bats are
typically the most guilty culprits that transmit
rabies to humans.

10. Walnut
In some circles, walnut is
believed to help neutralize
the poison of a rabid dog
bite. To follow this remedy,
grind equal amounts of
walnut, salt and onion.
Some have added honey to
this concoction. Dress the
wound with this mixture
until you can get to a doctor.

11. Garlic
The natural antibiotic
properties may help treat
the aftereffects of a rabid
dog bite. Some people
have taken a few cloves of
garlic three times daily to
assist in wound healing.

12. Echinacea Tea:
A tea brewed with
Echinacea may help
speed up the wound
healing process of an
infected bite, as well as
give a boost to the
immune system.

13. Lavender
Gardeners who plant a
variety of herbs in their
yard will find plenty of
herbal remedies for a
wide range of medical
concerns. If you make a
compress out of lavender
and apply to a wound, it is
believed to help it heal
faster
