The bite of the infected animal easily introduces the virus into a fresh woundIn humans, rabies is not usually spread from man to man, rather the majority of infections occur from rabid dogs After a person has been inoculated, the virus enters small nerve ends around the site of the bite, and slowly travels up the nerve to reach the central nervous system (CNS) where it reproduces itself, and will then travel down nerves to the salivary glands and replicate further The time it takes to do this depends on the length of the nerve it must travel - a bite on the foot will have a much lengthier incubation period than a facial bite would This period may last from two weeks to six months, and often the original wound will have healed and been forgo tten by the time symptoms begin to occur. Symptoms in humans present themselves in one of two forms: 'furious rabies', or 'dumb rabies' The former is called such because of the severe nature and range of the symptoms
