In 1974 the treatment was Duck Egg embryo vaccine and I took a gamma globulin injection and 18+ additional vaccinations in the arms, legs, abdominal, and any muscle that could accommodate an injection. It was painful. In 1983 I was again exposed and it was only six human diploid injections and a gamma globulin injection that were not as painful. My titre was off the scale for several years after the 1983 incident. I get a booster every five years anyway. Incubation for rabies can be as long as a year as there have been cases that forensically identified the exposure 12 months beforehand.

WOW.. did not know that :/ I would be terrified for a few years after :/
As much as I went around chasing stuff (on horseback.. and hunting on foot..in Texas), I am probably lucky I was never exposed to rabies.
