Both countries are still listed at "Level 1," which is the CDC's lowest warning level and comes with a recommendation to "practice usual precautions." For India, there has been at least one report of a case in the United States from a traveler who came from India.

Influenced by the tenets of TCM and a book he read on the unethical practices of rabies vaccine pioneer Louis Pasteur, Grant became skeptical that the collection of symptoms identified by veterinarians as rabies was an actual, distinct disease that could be targeted by an injectable drug. Though he distrusts pharmaceutical products, potential adverse effects aren't his major objection to the shots. "It's more about not being convinced at all that there's really anything to vaccinate against," he said.
