Sandra Jimenez,44, was arrested Saturday after Miami authorities said she got into an argument with her boyfriend, Miguel Tellez. According to Too Fab, officers were called to the hospital, where they spoke to Tellez, and he explained that they had an “ongoing” argument about him looking at other women but went left entirely. After he went to lie down on the couch, Jimenez allegedly jumped on top of him with two rabies needles that were for their dogs and stabbed his right eyelid.
Moments later, Jimenez left the home after realizing what she’d done and was found sleeping in her car outside the home. She reportedly told police that Tellez’s injuries were self-inflicted.

Rabies is a hazardous and potentially fatal viral disease that affects mammals, including humans. It is essential to approach the topic of rabies with caution and take necessary precautions to prevent its spread. It is primarily transmitted through the bite or scratch of an infected animal, most commonly dogs, bats, raccoons, and foxes. The virus attacks the central nervous system, leading to severe brain and spinal cord inflammation.
Fortunately, a preventive measure is available in the form of the rabies vaccine. This vaccine has been developed to protect against the rabies virus and is considered highly effective in preventing the onset of this life-threatening disease.
