What is rabies? It’s a virus that affects the nervous system if unchecked the virus can reach your brain. This usually takes 8 weeks and the person will show no symptoms at this time. But when they do they will show increased aggression, seizures, abnormal behaviour, and intense anxiety. Once these symptoms show up the victim is likely going to die.
