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.
Rabies is caused by the Rhabdovirus family and transmitted in the saliva of infected domestic and wild animals after they bite or scratch another animal or a human. Rabies is 100% fatal if untreated. In the early stages rabies symptoms are non-specific but usually suggest involvement of the respiratory, gastrointestinal and/or central nervous system. Death due to respiratory failure is typical in untreated persons usually within the first 7 days of illness.
