Rabies Infection in Humans Leads to Symptoms a Few Days

Question

Rabies infection in humans leads to symptoms a few days after exposure.

Accepted Answer

Rabies infection in humans does not present symptoms immediately after exposure. The incubation period of the virus can range from a few days to several years, with the average time being 1 to 3 months. Once symptoms do present, it is usually too late for treatment to be effective, which is why prompt medical attention is crucial if someone has potentially been exposed to the virus.
