          As a bonus, there is a vaccine. The problem is that you lose the benefits so fast that they only give it to you after you’ve been bitten, during the narrow window between contamination and infection. Just the time it takes to get to the hospital can easily be long enough to put you into the untreatable phase.

            Depends on how severe a bite is and where it happens! Deep and high up? You need the vaccine quickly. Minor scratch on your hand? It can wait a week
