Kagat man yan o kalmot, wag ipagwalang bahala.

A 13-year-old girl died after being bitten by a rabid dog last February, according to Darlene Cay's exclusive report on 24 Oras Weekend.
βSabi niya, 'Mama hindi na ako maka-inom, hirap na akong maka-inom ng tubig. Mama, baka may rabies na ako.' Doon sa narinig ko na may rabies. Sabi ko, 'Bakit? Nakagat ka ba ng a*o?'β said Jamaicaβs mother, Roselyn.
It turned out that Jamaica had been bitten by a dog last February at the Vitas Park in Tondo. At the time, she told her parents that she had been caught on a wire, which had caused her wound.
βSabi ko bakit ngayon ka lang nag-sabi? Sabi niya, Mama, sorry Mama, sorry sabi niyang ganon. Sabi ko hindi naman ako magaglit sayo kung sinabi mo, dapat naagapan. βMa, mamamatay na ba ako, mamamatay na ba ako?β Doon ako kinabahan parang gusto ko nang mag-hysterical,β Roselyn said.
According to doctors, it may take a few days, weeks, or months before the symptoms of a person infected with rabies appear. So, if an individual is bitten, licked, or scratched by a dog, it would be best to clean the wound immediately and rush to the nearest health center or hospital.
The injury should not be ignored because rabies is deadly.
