Over 6,200 Dog Bites in Gharssaïn 2025
In the state of Kasserine, during the year 2025, there was a noticeable increase in cases of human animal bites, with more than 6,208 cases reported, most of which were caused by stray dogs, compared to 6,005 cases in 2024. Although no human deaths from rabies were recorded in 2025, a child died in 2026 after being bitten by a rabid dog, despite receiving prompt prophylactic treatment. It is worth noting that rabies is a deadly viral disease transmitted through bites or scratches from infected animals, and its danger lies in death following the appearance of symptoms. Therefore, early prevention, regular vaccination of animals, and public awareness are the primary methods to reduce its spread. Authorities emphasized the importance of washing the bite site with water and soap, seeking immediate medical attention at health centers, and ensuring complete vaccination to prevent infection and death.
