💨 Abstract

Yvonne Ford, 59, from Barnsley, died of rabies after a mild scratch from a stray puppy in Morocco. Symptoms, including severe headache, hallucinations, and hydrophobia, appeared months later. Her daughter, Robyn Thomson, is campaigning to vaccinate dogs against rabies, aiming to prevent similar tragedies. Thomson plans to volunteer with Mission Rabies to support vaccination efforts and educate communities.
