Why Is It Important to Learn About Rabies, Considering That

question 50

Multiple Choice

Why is it important to learn about rabies, considering that only a few cases occur in the United States each year?

• A) The U.S. isn't the entire world. Rabies might be more common in other areas, and it's important to understand due to the fact that this disease is nearly always fatal.
• B) The only reason why rabies isn't common in the U.S. is due to our lack of interaction with animal carriers. We could very easily have an outbreak of rabies if we don't know the warning signs to watch for that we've learned about by studying the virus and disease.
• C) Rabies can never be completely eliminated-it has too many different animal reservoirs/carriers.  As such, we need to remain constantly aware of how to protect human populations, both by preventing and treating the illness. We can only do that by learning about it.
• D) All of the answer choices are correct.
• E) None of the choices is correct.
