Rabies is a viral disease that primarily affects mammals, including humans, and is caused by the rabies virus. It is typically transmitted through the bite of an infected animal. The virus attacks the central nervous system, leading to brain inflammation and a variety of severe symptoms. Among these symptoms are hallucinations, paralysis, and hydrophobia (fear of water).
The claim that rabies can cause men to ejaculate 20-30 times a day uncontrollably is not accurate or supported by medical research. Rabies does not induce such specific sexual symptoms. Instead, the actual symptoms associated with rabies are much more grave and invariably lead towards severe neurological compromise and death if not treated promptly, typically before the onset of severe symptoms.
Once the rabies virus reaches the brain and symptoms begin to show, the disease is nearly always fatal. Various stages of the disease include initial symptoms like fever and pain at the site of exposure, followed by more severe symptoms such as violent movements, uncontrolled excitement, confusion, and loss of consciousness. The idea that rabies could cause frequent uncontrollable ejaculation is a misconception that is not backed by scientific evidence.
It is important to address and debunk myths and misinformation, especially concerning health issues, as they can lead to unnecessary panic or confusion. Rabies is preventable through vaccination of pets and immediate medical care following potential exposure to the virus. Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is effective at preventing the disease if administered promptly after a suspected exposure. Anyone bitten or scratched by an animal suspected to have rabies should seek medical advice immediately to assess whether PEP is necessary.
