Rabbies

Rabies is deadly for humans if you don't get the shots after getting infected. OR if you've had shots previous to being bitten as Animal Control Officers are required to get. Read the story about the one-of-a-kind young girl who did in fact survive Rabies without treatment. She had to learn to walk, talk and function again! The other five people known to have survived it after symptoms appeared either were vaccinated in advance or received vaccine soon afterward. All but one ended up with persistent movement difficulties. In a desperate attempt to save her, Wisconsin doctors intentionally put her in a coma and gave her a slew of antiviral drugs and other medications to prevent a cascade of events that causes nerve cells to die. She spent two months in intensive care before returning home on New Year’s Day, 2005. A tutor helped Giese finish her sophomore year of high school so she could rejoin her classmates in the fall. Physical therapy helped her overcome speech problems, weakness in her left hand and foot, and abnormal movements in her arms and hands. She still has slight difficulty enunciating words, awkwardness using her left hand and trouble lifting her left foot so that she looks a bit uncoordinated when she runs. Check out the complete story about her. Source Link: http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2007-08-29-rabies-survivor_N.htm?loc=interstitialskip

You must have misunderstood. Rabies will kill you if you don't get treatment. Yes, it may take a couple months. You must get the shots if you've had contact with a rabid animal.

You are wrong. It can kill any person if you don't take treatment early.
