00:00The number of cases of rabies is lower now compared to the same time in 2024.

00:07But the Health Department continues to remind us that if an animal is bitten,

00:11we should immediately get vaccinated, especially since the symptoms of rabies do not immediately show up.

00:16Danoting Cungco got it right.

00:20This is one of the last videos of 57-year-old Marky Torado before he died on March 3 because of rabies.

00:27Four months after he was bitten on the wrist of his 50-year-old aunt.

00:42He was vaccinated against rabies among his relatives.

00:45Nicole was vaccinated against rabies twice for her two-year-old son.

00:50The first was in April when her aunt was able to save her son's life.

00:58He didn't eat much at that time, so we were a bit worried.

01:08But he was still bitten.

01:10This is the second time this year that a son held the head of a dog that was suddenly angry and bit him on the wrist.

01:18The next day, we were vaccinated.

01:20I became more aware of what was happening compared to waiting for my son to get rabies.

01:28According to the Department of Health, in 2024, 426 people got rabies.

01:33All of them were at home.

01:35Almost half of this number were bitten by a dog with rabies.

01:39From January to March, the DOH recorded 55 rabies cases.

01:44This is lower than 90 cases in the same year of 2024.

01:48According to the DOH, it is important to get vaccinated against rabies because it is deadly.

01:55The symptoms of rabies do not always show up.

01:59The first symptoms of rabies usually show up after two to three months from the day of exposure or bite.

02:08But it can also show up within a few weeks or last up to a year.

02:15Rabies is caused by the bite, itch, or scratch of an animal with rabies virus.

02:20The symptoms include fever, weakness, and bleeding.

02:24If it spreads, it can lead to phobia of water and air, confusion, and paralysis.

02:30If bitten, wash the wound immediately using soap and running water,

02:34and run to the nearest health center, emergency room, or animal bite center.

02:39For GMA Integrated News, I'm Dan Otengco.

02:42I've been talking for 24 hours.
