Q- Why did the incidence of attacks by wild animals suddenly increase so rapidly?

Answer- Dr. Akhtar Hussain Khan says that usually dangerous animals like wolves, leopards or sardines find their prey in the forest area. But during the rainy season, due to waterlogging of forest areas or fields, these wild animals move to higher places or plains. As most of the high places are around villages and cities, wild animals find such places to protect themselves.

Answer- Dr. Akhtar Hussain Khan says that wolves always attack their prey silently. They hunt prey that they can easily grab in their mouths and run away. This is the reason why they target small human children and baby sheep and goats.

Wolves are generally afraid of adult humans. Therefore, adults are not more at risk from them. However, everyone needs to exercise caution and vigilance.

Anti Rabies Injection: Anti-rabies injection should be given immediately after a wild animal bite because the animal's saliva contains the rabies virus, which can enter the body during the bite. Anti-rabies injection prevents the rabies virus from spreading in the body.

Tetanus Injection: The saliva and wounds of wild animals may contain tetanus bacteria, which can enter the body. A tetanus injection should be taken immediately to prevent it from spreading throughout the body.

Take antibiotics: Be sure to take antibiotics after consulting a doctor. This will help protect the wound from infection and help it heal faster.
