Yes, people can be exposed to rabies without immediate awareness, particularly if they are bitten or scratched by an infected animal without realizing it. The virus can take weeks to months to manifest symptoms, during which time the person might not know they have been exposed. Early symptoms are often vague and flu-like, which can lead to a delay in diagnosis. However, once symptoms appear, rabies is almost always fatal, making immediate post-exposure prophylaxis crucial if exposure is suspected.

What if the rabies virus is not accepted by a healthy nerve cell?

If a healthy nerve cell effectively blocks the rabies virus from entry, you would not get rabies.

Once you are exposed, you need post-exposure prophylaxis to keep yourself from dying of rabies.

How do you know if your dog have raibes?

...Do you mean; How do you know if your dog has rabies? If so, you would have to bring it to a vet to get it tested in order to know for sure, but foaming at the mouth is a big indicator that they may have rabies. Also a significant mood change, if they get angry and aren't usually angry, then they could have rabies. Be careful!! People can get rabies from animals!! Happens a lot, but can be prevented! Bring your dog to a vet and get it tested so you aren't hurt. ((Rabies is very deadly if not taken care of!)
