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 spread when an infected animal scratches or bites another animal or human. Saliva from an infected animal can also transmit rabies if the saliva comes into contact with the mouth, nose, or eyes. Globally, dogs are the most common animal involved. More than 99% of rabies cases in countries where dogs commonly have the disease are caused by dog bites. In the Americas, bat bites are the most common source of rabies infections in humans, and less than 5% of cases are from dogs. Rodents are very rarely infected with rabies.
