Teach da children not to approach strange animals, not even friendly ones! Teach da children to tell you if dey bitten even if it a tiny nip. If you finds a bat in your room go gets shots because bat teef sharp and bites invisible! Prevention better dan treatment and far better dan getting da hydrophobie!

Dey's a new test dat can diagnose human rabies from da skin. No more zombie brain soon!

There is a need for a reliable method based on a simple collection of nonneural specimens.
