The muscles in your neck go into a very uncomfortable and painful spasm every time you try to swallow anything including your own saliva (which is why you see people/animals drooling). Swallowing becomes extremely difficult.
I really wanna see how many antivaxxers would refuse a rabies vaccine if they were bitten by a rabid animal. >

There was at least one. >

He died. I told my antivax mom about that and she just pretended I didn't say anything at all. >

Sheesh. One of the worst ways to die on top of that. The species progresses, one way or another >

Rabies is pretty much 100% fatal, and it is NOT a good way to go. >

Yeah without the vaccine somewhat immediately and then 3/4 more doses over the next month, it's 100% fatal. If you get bitten by a stray animal you should always go to a doctor. I would say any animal but it's situational. Your family dog is extremely likely to have rabies than a wild fox or so.
Helplessness, hallucinations, inability to hydrate and then you start biting people because the virus is telling you to spread itself and making your brain think this is what you need to do. >

I saw a video on here recently of a guy with rabies trying to drink water. The hydrophobia is so weird to me. Can you truly not drink it or are you actually just that scared of water?
