If I had a list of ways not to die, this would be waaaay up there
Literally 14 people ever are recorded as surviving Rabies. Aside from prion diseases its the most fatal thing out there.
Its also essentially not transmissible between humans, so this isn’t really a cause to panic.
Yeah, yeah. World War Z predicted this. Best I fill the bath tub of water then and begin foraging for wood to burn in preparation for the end of the world.
Waiting for dog sympathisers to comment why rabies is good for you
Utterly brutal way to go. If you’re going to a country where Rabies is possible, you really should get the vaccine, and keep away from animals likely to bite.
Just a reminder for folk that 99% of rabies cases come from dog bites or scratches, and in the event of being bitten or scratched by a dog:
* Wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water as soon as possible
* Seek healthcare for a course of the vaccine and administration of antibodies

We do have insanely strict rules on bringing pets or animals into this country as a way to prevent rabies https://www.gov.uk/bring-pet-to-great-britain
Horrific way to go, and once you show symptoms its already too late to save you.
I know a few (low double figures) survived by being placed in comas but even amongst them many didn’t recover fully and had to learn to walk and talk again.
Before anybody panics a reminder there hasn’t been a dog in the UK with it since 2008: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/rabies-epidemiology-transmission-and-prevention
The good news is that rabies is a recommended vaccine for Morocco. The bad news is I guess they didn’t do it.
Horrible way to die. I bet the person wanted to die when they started having severe symptoms but yet the government just allows them to suffer.
Get your vaccinations before travelling. Rabies vaccine is widely available.
>The case is only the seventh time this **millennium** that a person in the UK has been diagnosed with rabies due to exposure to infected animals.
Given this millennium is only 25/26 years old it seems…a strange choice of word
