Can Rabies incubation last for decades?

Question:

hello, I am from China. and when I was a child. I was bitten by dogs for three times, didn't get well treate for short knowledge.
Now I hear that man can still get rabies from 20 -50 years ago, I am so scared! we hear these from nespapaer and doctors.
what can I do?

Answers:
From what I read, symptoms usually start within 2 - 12 weeks. Rare instance of symptoms showing up 2 years later. If you don't have any symptoms, I am sure that you are fine. If you develope symptoms, seek medical attention.

The incubation period for rabies is generally 1 - 3 months but usually within days of the bite. It *can* occasionally take several years but not 20 or more. Relax! I think you're fine.
