Can Rabies Manifest Ten Years After A Dog Bite?
Hi, Once I was small bitten by a street dog 10 years ago, that moment I was not aware about the rabbies viruses and could not attend to the doctor. Now many of my friends saying the rabbies can occur after many years also. Please suggest me is there any risk for me ?
