If you absolutely hate the rain and want to see Seattle in good weather its best to go during the high season in the summer months. It hardly ever rains in June, July, or August, and the days are so sunny and clear youâll wonder why they say it rains all the time here.
Itâs transmitted through the saliva a few days before death when the animal âshedsâ the virus. Rabies is not transmitted through the blood, urine, or feces of an infected animal, nor is it spread airborne through the open environment. Because it affects the nervous system, most rabid animals behave abnormally.
Rabies is a viral illness spread via the saliva of an infected animal. This occurs usually through biting a human or another animal. Transmission can also occur through saliva touching an open wound or touching mucous membranes. Rabies is caused by the rabies virus. The virus infects the brain and ultimately leads to death. After being bitten by a rabid animal, the virus is deposited in the muscle and subcutaneous tissue. For most of the incubation period (which is usually one to three months), the virus stays close to the exposure site.
