Moisture sources that pose no health risk, like rain or a clean tap water, are known as Category 1 sources. Experts are able to curtail the problems Category 1 sources cause without employing special restoration products or protective equipment, as long as mold is not present.
Once a person has been infected with the rabies virus, symptoms may appear as soon as 10 days or as long as 90 days after exposure. These symptoms typically happen in stages.
However, there are conditions that can look like rabies but are not. Waiting the 10 days after the first symptoms occur, especially if the owner is certain the dog has not been in contact with a rabid dog or wild animal is the most traditional way to verify the conditions are not caused by rabies.
