title: Treating rabies.
abstract: Rabies was first reported by Aristotle over 2,000 years ago and has plagued man ever since. Little has been done to provide adequate treatment once the symptoms have appeared. Therefore the battle against rabies involves health education and prophylaxis, although during the incubation period rabies is treatable. The incubation period of this communicable disease can range from ten days to six months but may be as long as two years. The length of the incubation period is determined by the proximity and severity of the bite, to the brain.
