Introduction : Rabies is a highly fatal illness but preventable . Since the virus enters the human body through bite or scratch it is imperative to remove as much saliva as possible immediately by proper washing of wound with soap and water Objectives : a)To identify the epidemiological pattern of victims of animal bites ; b)To find out the factors affecting delay of post exposure prophylaxis among victims of animal bites . Results :- 18% of the participants had delay in post exposure prophylaxis . Illiteracy and type of exposure were found to have a statistically significant association with delay in post exposure prophylaxis . Conclusion :- By addressing knowledge gaps and promoting healthy behaviour , we can mitigate the risks associated with animal bites and improve health outcome of affected individuals .
