Rabies in the UK

[Paddy]

I have new been bitten by rabbis but I am not sure about Sephardic ones.

I was staying in a lovely beach resort in Kerala. A few stray dogs were seen going towards the guests 'cabanas' in the evenings, and in bed, we'd hear occassional gun shots. One day, searching for a smelly trainer I'd been forced to leave outside, I came across a pile of the dead dogs. The results of the previous nights shots. I was informed one of them had my trainer, and it was returned to me.

I think the dog needed a medal, not a gun shot. Bravery indeed to put those things in its mouth....

Rabies is eradicated in UK so why would anybody bother treating for it. The stupid granny should have told them that it was in India. The article makes it out that it is the fault of the NHS. What was she upto with a dog anyway ?

Also, I think the big fat injections have been replaced by oral medicines now, I think. So its not all that bad.

If you get bitten by a dog in a country where rabies abounds, and then do f-all about getting some shots, you might die. Have I missed anything here?

Stupid, stupid people everwhere.

It's hardly the NHS' fault now is it? Did she tell the doctor that she'd been bitten?

My thoughts exactly. You get bitten by an animal in a country that isn't rabies free, you seek treatment.

Stupidity is often fatal.

Did a man in a rain-coat pay you to play this while he watched?

No. EO wasn't involved at all.

We used to play 'rabies' as kids. It involved a lot of spitting, smearing of dirt, and biting each other. Great fun.

I got bitten by a rabid dog in South Africa many years ago. It wasn't so much getting bitten that was traumatic but this was before the days of just a couple of jabs but 15 injections in the stomach...

Big bastard injections too...

Large, angry dogs frothing at the mouth get to me. Hate seeing stray dogs when abroad.
