The scratch that can kill: India's silent Rabies crisis
Rabies kills 5,700 Indians every year — yet awareness and access to treatment remain alarmingly low. In Gujarat, state-level kabaddi player Brajesh Solanki died a slow death weeks after rescuing a puppy that turned out to be rabid. In Tamil Nadu, a 35-year-old man bitten by a stray suffered violent symptoms before dying in isolation. Experts warn: it's not the bite, but the delay that kills. Rabies immunoglobulin (RIG) — essential in severe cases — is still hard to access in many rural areas.
