Experts issue serious warning about rabies virus: Do not ignore the dog

According to Dr. Rita Mani, Professor and Head of Neurovirology at NIMHANS, the rabies virus can be present even in a single day's saliva. She stated that dog biting or saliva getting into the eyes is considered a serious risk, or a Grade-3 contact. She warned that ignoring the situation after dog contact can be fatal. The virus can enter the body through the mouth or eyes, but not through healthy, uninjured skin.
