The Ministry of Health explains that rabies is a dangerous disease that causes death among humans and animals. Therefore, vaccination of animals for rabies is defined as mandatory.
Vaccination is essential for maintaining public health and animal welfare in Israel. In recent years, the Ministry of Agriculture has invested a lot of effort in encouraging and enforcing rabies vaccination and calls on the public to vaccinate animals regularly. Also, the ministry urges the public to make sure to tie up the animal when leaving the house, especially in the areas of Safar (which are near the border) in order to prevent infection.
How can you prevent infection and what do you do if you are bitten?
As for infected wild animals, including jackals, the following instructions must be observed:
- Collect food scraps and throw in bins only, to prevent their availability to wild animals.
- Do not approach animals in the wild.
- Do not adopt a stray animal without having it examined by a veterinarian.
- Do not collect wild animals and bring them into the home, or sacrifice them in a populated place.
- Make sure to close the garbage cans in the public space.
- If you have been bitten by an unfamiliar animal, wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water and contact the attending physician immediately to receive help and treatment.
How can an animal infected with rabies be identified?
An infected animal can be identified by the following signs:
- Behavioral changes - wild animals can become especially friendly while domestic animals can become especially cowardly.
- In its aggressive form, the disease causes the animal to attack everything in its path. At the end of the disease, there are sometimes signs of paralysis or muscle contractions, difficulty swallowing, foaming at the mouth, reluctance to drink water and changes in the voice.
The Ministry of Agriculture appeals to the public and requests:
If you come across an infected animal, you must immediately report it to the authorized veterinarian. Every case of an animal found to be infected with rabies is investigated by the professionals and according to the findings, the veterinary services and warehouses operate in those areas.
All rabies cases are published on the website of the Ministry of Agriculture.
Litzman was the one who canceled the rabies vaccinations for jackals, it was clear that it was only a matter of time until rabies reached the citizens. The rabies vaccinations must be returned and preferably one hour before
Hahahahahaha Terrorists are entering our city and we are supposed to learn how to recognize them hahahahahahaha.
So here yesterday a woman died a slow death, just a bottomless woman worth nothing.
And this morning an old man died who could not stand to identify the infected.
And tomorrow - tomorrow your mother will die and visit you.
Ahh nonsense - teach the children to identify terrorists in the form of jackals - this is important.
