Transmission occurs <br /> when rabid animals, with the virus in their saliva , bite people . The rabies virus causes the <br /> disease by infecting nerves in animals and people . It eventually causes death . In people , <br /> the incubation period ( the time between initial contact with the virus and onset of the <br /> disease ) generally ranges from two to eight weeks . In rare cases, it can vary from 10 days <br /> to 2 years . <br /> Avoid all wild animals, whether or not they are exhibiting the symptoms of rabies . In <br /> animals, rabies appears in two different forms . It may appear as furious rabies in which <br /> the animal changes behavior, becomes restless, wanders aimlessly, and bites any animal , <br /> person , or object in its way . Eventually the animal becomes paralyzed in the throat and <br /> hind legs, and dies . Or it may appear as " dumb rabies " in which an animal changes <br /> behavior, becomes withdrawn or more affectionate , tries to hide , has difficulty <br /> swallowing, and dies after a few days without ever becoming violent . <br /> If the animal is in the work area , call animal control to have it removed . Do not attempt <br /> to remove the animal yourself . <br /> If you are bit or come into contact with saliva , body fluids, or tissue of animals suspected <br /> of having rabies immediately call the SSO . <br /> 32 <br />
