(Lively music playing)

Two brains move through a maze, chomping as they go. The brains merge into one large brain.

A banner over the brain reads: Hungry Brain!

A voice says, HUNGRY BRAIN!

An illustration of lightbulb shaped like a brain appears over a red and green background.

A narrator says, OKAY, OKAY, I GET IT. YOU WANT TO LEARN SOMETHING AND DISCOVER NEW FACTS. NO NEED TO START FROTHING AT THE MOUTH. HERE'S OUR TOP TRUE OR FALSE ON RABIES.

Text reads: Top True Or False On Rabies

(Dog barking)

The narrator says, NUMBER FOUR: RABIES IS A DISEASED CAUSED BY A VIRUS. TRUE OR FALSE?

A checkmark appears over an animated virus.

The narrator continues, TRUE. THE DISEASE IS CAUSED BY A VIRUS TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE ANIMAL’S SALIVA.

(Dog growling)

An animated dog froths at the mouth.

The narrator says, ONCE INSIDE THE BODY, THE VIRUS ATTACKS THE NERVOUS SYSTEMS AND GOES TO THE BRAIN. WHEN IT REACHES THE BRAIN, THE BEHAVIOUR OF THE ANIMAL CHANGES.

(Barking)

The narrator continues, IT BECOMES MORE AGGRESSIVE, AND IS NO LONGER AFRAID OF HUMANS, WHICH MEANS YOUR CHANCES OF GETTING BITTEN ARE MUCH HIGHER. WATCH OUT, YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO GET BITTEN TO BECOME INFECTED. YOUR PET'S SALIVA IS ENOUGH TO SPREAD THE DISEASE.

The narrator says, NUMBER THREE: ONLY DOGS CATCH RABIES. TRUE OR FALSE?

(Buzzer)

An “X” appears over an illustration of a dog.

The narrator says, FALSE. ALL MAMMALS CATCH AND TRANSMIT RABIES, INCLUDING HUMANS. WE'RE MAMMALS, TOO. IN CANADA, FOR EXAMPLE, THE ANIMALS MOSTLY AFFECTED BY RABIES ARE BATS, SKUNKS, FOXES, AND RACCOONS. ASIA ACCOUNTS FOR 95% OF CASES GLOBALLY. EVERY YEAR, NEARLY 40,000 PEOPLE DIE FROM RABIES, BUT IN CANADA, THE RISK TO HUMANS OF CONTRACTING THE DISEASE IS VERY LOW. IN THE PAST 30 YEARS, ONLY FOUR PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INFECTED. SO NEED TO WORRY, BUT WE SHOULD STILL BE ON OUR GUARD.

The narrator says, NUMBER TWO: THE VIRUS IS FOUND ALL OVER THE WORLD. TRUE OR FALSE?

(Buzzer)

An “X” appears over an illustration of the Earth.

The narrator continues, FALSE. THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPORTED CASES OF INFECTED ANIMALS IN ANTARCTICA OR IN HAWAII. THESE REGIONS ARE SAFE FROM RABIES BECAUSE THEY ARE ISOLATED FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD. THE GOVERNMENT OF HAWAII IS SAYING "BITE ME" TO THE VIRUS BY TAKING ALL NECESSARY STEPS WITH VISITORS TO ENSURE RABIES NEVER DOGS THIS PACIFIC ARCHIPELAGO.

(Growling)

The narrator says, NUMBER ONE: IN CASE OF A BITE, GO TO AN A AND E. TRUE OR FALSE?

A checkmark appears over an illustration of a hospital.

The narrator continues, TRUE. IF YOU GET BITTEN BY AN ANIMAL WITH RABIES, EVERY SECOND COUNTS.

(Ticking)

An animated clock moves.

The narrator says, FIRST YOU MUST CLEAN THE WOUND WITH SOAP AND WATER, THEN GET TO THE HOSPITAL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE DOCTOR WILL QUICKLY GIVE YOU AN INJECTION THAT WILL PREVENT THE DISEASE FROM DEVELOPING. WELL, YOU PUT THE BITE ON US FOR FACTS AND YOU GOT 'EM. NO NEED TO TAKE A JAB AT ME, I'M DOING MY BEST HERE.
