this can be done by exposure of infected , manifested patient who didn't receive prophylaxis or delayed in receiving immunoglobulins .
also can be applied to patients who have the injury in upper body near the CNS..
it's just an idea and the investigators need help to approve its effect and the investigators believe it will really work and give a new, rapid , cheap and very effective treatment to a 100% fatal disease..
