Precisely
When do you get an anti-venom shot?
**After** being bitten
Sometimes you get even without getting bitten
Example if you are traveling in a high risk country
I've never had to get a rabies shot
I've been to 8 countries
Me neither as usually you have to stay in the risk zone for a while or if you are there to work with wild animals
Think you have to be in that country at least 3-6 months can’t remember
I'd refuse it as a preventive measure and only get it if I got bitten.
Rabies vaccine aren’t available everywhere and that is why sometimes doctors recommends taking a shot before on vacation
That's not necessary for a vacation.
The typical vacation is a week to two weeks. Rarely passed three weeks.
@Wretch long term immunity only lasts about 10ish years. After that youre at risk without an exposure or vaccine
@the21cat From a vaccine or natural body immunity?
Natural body immunity which id what vaccines gove you. So both
Your body gives **life-long** immunities.
Not ten year immunities...
Doesnt work for chickenpox
Bullshit
A disease thats supposed to go away
Not always
Which os where those shingles commercials came from
That's not a typical thing
Theoretically it should but the exact stimulus for coming out is unknown right now
It literally attaches itself in your dna which is why viruses can be so scary sometimes
But yes the viruses dont always repeat sickness in that system though youre right
Mostly depending on when the virus chooses to start attacking your cells again
My brother and I both got chicken pox only once and were never vaccinated for it. My sister got the vaccine before getting chicken pox and got it 3 times.
Vaccines dont outright prevent diseases they can but mainly they are to lessen symptoms
So the virus can be recognized quicker
It is getting late here now so not in the mood for more discussion but thank you for sharing your view The Mad Philosopher
Was curious how a anti-waxxer view point was on rabies and the rabies vaccine and also thank you for having a polite and friendly conservation!
Have a good day/night everyone!
@Tejiu The Gecko good night
@Tejiu The Gecko Goodnight and you're welcome.
@🍄The Mad Philosopher🍄 also to explain the 10 year thing your body gets rid of unused memory b cell antibodies over time which happens to be 10 years usually
It has a limit for space is the main reason
@the21cat you are wrong my immunity is forever to it cause it got it naturally not from some vaccine
cant get mumps or measles either
Thata not how shingles works though i suppose you could get it feon a weakened viru vaccine they just produce the antigens of the virus
natural immunity is forever not like a vaccine which does not produce natural antibodies which is why it is not a life lomg immunity
