Same thing.........if you have been bitten by a rabid animal, you are given the same course of injections as someone who has been given the vaccination because their occupation puts them at risk.

HRIG (passive immunisation) is used after exposure to rabies, for rapid protection until the rabies vaccine (active immunisation) becomes effective. It is given at the same time but at a separate site as part of post-exposure prophylaxis. The dose is HRIG 20 IU/kg body weight. It is administered around the cleansed wound or intramuscularly (anterolateral thigh) if the wound has healed or is not visible. It can be given for up to seven days after starting the vaccination course (active immunisation). http://www.patient.co.uk/doctor/Rabies-Vaccination.htm Still don't see where he gets all those injection sites from One for the vaccine One for the HRIG |

Well I think she had them in her arm but I wouldn't bet my life on it. And it was definitely post-bite rather than preventative.

I am just.. so.. Confused by this thread!
So did you get bitten now or a few months ago, OP? (Or never, but I'll play along. I'm in on a Saturday night) |

Unofficial poll time....
Vote 1 - the U.S.-based story is shite; Vote 2 - the UK-based version is dog vomit; Vote 3 - BOTH are bullshit. Cast your votes! |

The delusional OP may indeed have rabies if some of the other symptoms are present. the injections may not have worked.
"The initial symptoms of rabies last for two to 10 days, before more severe symptoms start to develop. There are two types of advanced rabies symptoms. They are known as: furious rabies, which account for 4 out of 5 cases dumb rabies, which accounts for the remaining cases Furious rabies Furious rabies is characterised by episodes of increasingly bizarre and hyperactive behaviour, separated by periods of relative calm. During these episodes, a person may have some, or all, of the following signs and symptoms: aggressive behaviour, such as thrashing out or biting agitation hallucinations – seeing or hearing things that are not real delusions – believing things that are obviously untrue excessive production of saliva high temperature (fever) excessive sweating the hair on their skin stands up a sustained erection (in men)" |

Wow, this story is really freaky. My German Shepherd came home earlier and started spouting some nonsense about the world being run by lizard people. I reckon he must have bitten the OP and contracted a serious case of the Crazies. I might have to have him put down, now.
