World Rabies Day is observed every year on 28 September to raise awareness about rabies prevention and elimination. The 2026 theme is “Stronger Together”.
Rabies is a serious viral disease, but timely and appropriate post-exposure care can prevent it.
What to Do After a Dog Bite?
• Immediately wash the wound thoroughly with soap and running water.
• Do not apply chilli, turmeric, ash, soil, oil or other home remedies.
• Seek medical evaluation without delay.
• Rabies vaccine and Rabies Immunoglobulin may be required depending on the exposure.
Why Immediate Care Matters
A person may appear healthy after an animal bite, but delaying post-exposure treatment can be dangerous. Do not wait for symptoms to appear.
Rabies and Ayurveda
Ayurveda can support general health and preventive lifestyle practices, but rabies exposure requires appropriate modern medical evaluation and post-exposure prophylaxis. Ayurvedic remedies should never replace rabies vaccination or emergency medical care.
One Health Approach
Rabies prevention requires cooperation between healthcare professionals, veterinarians, pet owners, communities and public health authorities. Responsible pet ownership and timely vaccination of animals are important preventive measures.
