There is no definitive survival time for the rabies virus in dry soil, and it is generally short, possibly only a few minutes. The survival time of the rabies virus is often limited by temperature and humidity, with some wetter and darker environments having a slightly longer survival time, and some drier and hotter environments having a few minutes survival time. The rabies virus is a blood-borne virus, and once the virus leaves the host, the infectiousness of the virus decreases rapidly and it is easily inactivated. It is also easily inactivated by ultraviolet light, formaldehyde, and potassium permanganate. In addition, the rabies virus is very harmful, and the mortality rate is almost 100% once it develops. Therefore, in the event of rabies exposure, it is recommended to protect yourself by actively vaccinating against rabies.
