However, there is a both a vaccine and treatment for rabies and it is possible to prevent infection and indeed cure the disease if treatment is given in time. Anyone bitten by an animal in a rabies area should seek medical help as early as possible. Thus, while a nasty disease, rabies is not really a severe problem.
