Recently, just before the sinhala new year dawn, I had to visit a funeral house. it was really heartbreaking moment for me. Nine years old kid died on the symptom of rabies. Rabies is incurable disease. if you get infected without any notice... it is fatal.
Rabies is contagious viral disease of especially infected by dogs (widely seen in Sri Lanka). it can transmit through saliva to humans. Mostly a bite from infected dog, cat, bat, monkey or other type of animals.
It takes several days (rarely few months) to notice the symptoms. it depends on the distance from infected location to your brain. It will take 2-3 days if the infected region is in your hand area and 10 days when it happened to leg area. You must take immunization drops before the stipulated dates and feel 100% cure from the disease. if it stuck your brain, sorry..it is the end.
Parents of the above young boy are senior executives of a reputed bank. it is suggested that infected saliva may have been transmitted to the little kid through an open wound. Being a senior executives of a bank do not allow them to give much attention for their children and now it has been paid of loving son’s life. They may have worked their ‘family time’ with the company hoping promotions and more money. Surely they can get those benefits, but it sans the ‘family company’, the very objective you are trying to achieve in your life. it is individual ability to balance the path between ‘family company’ and the ‘working company’.
When I was at this funeral house, it was said that this little kit is more ‘religious’ than other same age kids. Religious references was related to his vegetarian attitude. I was annoyed to hear this kind of remarks, because humans are not born vegetarians. if we practice vegetarian theory against the nature theory you will get struck with natural phenomena again. That is your ability level to fight against the virus/bacteria is in very compromise level. Specially for kids consequences would be disastrous.
