Rabies is a viral disease that is almost always fatal once symptoms appear. Post - exposure prophylaxis (immediate treatment after exposure) is crucial to prevent the development of the disease.
Naegleria fowleri is a free - living amoeba. It typically enters the body through the nose (not through broken skin or the conjunctiva of the eye as in option B). It causes a very rapid and severe infection (not a long - course infection as in option C). It is not very common (contrary to option A). It is not of special concern to people with traumatic eye injuries.
