hi,
The incubation (symptom free period after bite) period for rabies is typically 1–3 months, but may vary from 1 year. The initial symptoms of rabies are fever and often pain or an unusual or unexplained tingling, pricking or burning sensation at the wound site ...No tests are available to diagnose rabies infection in humans before the onset of clinical disease, and unless the rabies-specific signs of hydrophobia (fear of water) or aerophobia (fear of air)are present, the clinical diagnosis may be difficult...ctonsult near by physician for clinical evaluation...regards
