Rabies is not known to be contagious from man to man. There is no restriction in type of food. Please consume balanced diet with good protein content like pulses, oats, wheat, eggs.

My Doctor told me to avoid all processed food specially those with preservatives. I was injected an anti rabies (ATS, PCEC, ERIG) and she told me not to eat any food such as canned goods, processes foods, some fishes, shrimps, softdrinks, any food seasoning, Bread and any spread. Plus no alcohol. That is the food I was not about to eat for two weeks while under the anti rabies shot. :)
