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.
Rabid animals become aggressive and harbor the virus in saliva and thus transmission is frequently via animal bites. In rare cases, rabies has been transmitted by corneal transplant or transplant of other tissues, or through contact of infected saliva with mucosal membranes or an open wound in the absence of a bite.
