If rabies is 100% fatal at a particular stage and the physicians are absolutely certain - then the patient should be overdosed to allow them to drift into a forever sleep. They shouldn’t be allowed to suffer. I’m sure a veterinarian wouldn’t allow a dog with advanced rabies to suffer and would put that dog out of its misery. Why is it so difficult to do that to a human who you know has zero chances of survival?

There is an alternative to euthanasia (in Canada we call it "medical assistance in dying", or MAiD) called palliative sedation therapy (PST). It involves heavily sedating the patient to the point of unconsciousness until death occurs. This is an option that individuals with religious objections to euthanasia often prefer-it is functionally identically to euthanasia without the hastened death part. Unfortunately, as another commenter pointed out, PST is expensive. It would be cost prohibitive to offer PST for all patients in developing countries. The resources simply aren't there. And even they were, I think at that level of triage, much of the funding would be directed elsewhere. This is the reality of triage when healthcare resources are scarce, such as in many parts of the world.

Also, rabies vaccines are more invasive and complicated than regular ones. This is from the Mayo Clinic: Rabies shots include: A fast-acting shot (rabies immune globulin) to prevent the virus from infecting you. This is given if you haven't had the rabies vaccine. This injection is given near the area where the animal bit you if possible, as soon as possible after the bite. A series of rabies vaccinations to help your body learn to identify and fight the rabies virus. Rabies vaccinations are given as injections in your arm. If you haven't previously had the rabies vaccines, you'll receive four injections over 14 days. If you have had the rabies vaccine, you'll have two injections over the first three days. So you see, in developing countries it would be nearly impossible to subject the entire population to 14 days of shots. Then boosters every year. Until our medical tech improves, preventative vaccines for all is not likely.

Those who decide on treatments and prevention must attend the last days of a person dying from rabies. It's heart breaking. Control and inoculate stray pets. Also teach kids to avoid wild animals and how to look out for signs of an infected animal. Do not ignore minor bites - get the patient to a clinic as soon as possible. 24 hours after an infected bite makes all the difference between life and death. The injections are unpleasant but rabies is much, much worse than the discomfort from the treatment.

Rabies compels its victims to chew because that's the primary means by which it spreads. Even an animal that relies almost entirely on claws or other body parts as a first line of defense will go straight to biting because of rabies. Rabid animals also engage in cribbing, which is chewing on fixed objects like bars, tree roots, your screen door, etc. Which is one reason it might not be immediately recognizable in livestock, which also engage in cribbing as an anxious habit, even when healthy.

We are animals and are subject to instinct, though we function mostly off drive not instinct, we have the capacity to become feral when pressed or pushed to our limits. We become true animals when distressed significantly, we lose our rational when driven to the extremes of our ability to cope. This reaction rabies causes is basically hijacking the instinctively conditioned reactions like biting, and in most low iq individuals the use of the mouth as a weapon is quite prevalent. We are both animals and gods, we can see into the future moreso than other animals due to our intellectual superiority amongst other mammals. We control this planet to a high degree and we function as heralds of this planet. The scary part of the rabies virus is that it reverts a man to his instinct and alters the rational of the infected creating a monster and a danger. I agree it is sad but lock them up and provide them with comfort to live out their last days. As an atheist I believe life is all we get but I also believe that I'm missing something. In my projection of reality I perceive us, life, as a single entity similarly to how our cells are different. A muscle cell is quite different than a neuron yet are lumped into a collection of various related cells with carried purposes. We multicellular organisms are an amalgamation of many systems that specialized and learned to work together. Rabies is a virus that interferes with the mammalian metabolism and alters metabolic functions by damaging neurological pathways and degradation of the spinal synapses, this alters awareness and neurotransmitters abundance leading to many feedback loops like hydrophobic and aggressive tendencies. The scary part is the exhibition of symptoms correlates to a high degree of mortality. I truly feel for those afflicted with this horrible disease.

@frootlooper Yep. If you work in animal fields where you encounter potentially rabid animals, or if you are going to the back lands of a developing country with rabies problems you can request a pre-exposure vaccine (rabies PrEP). Its very similar to the one pets get. Its usually 3 shots and works for 3 years. Ive had it due to my working in animal rescue. Its way cheaper than full post-exposure vaccine (rabies PEP) for someone who isnt vaccinated, and less shots too. The protocol for rabies PEP on vaccinated pets and vaccinated humans who may have been exposed is pretty much identical. You get a few extra shots as a failsafe, because you dont f around with rabies. But as long as you are in that 3 year window, youre still pretty safe even if you dont get any additional shots. Thats what kills me. Theres a completely functional vaccine. In the developed world, full blown rabies is very rare because if you get bit by a sick animal like a bat or raccoon, you get full rabies PEP, even if you havent ever been vaccinated. So the only cases are where the people didnt go in after being bit (or in the case of a small animal like a bat, didnt notice) But in the developing countries, both PEP and PrEP are prohibitively expensive for many people, if you even have a way to pay for it, you still have to find a way to the clinic before the rabies virus makes its way to your brain. I once saw a vid of a dad in India being told his little 4 year old girl was bit by a rabid animal. And she was already showing symptoms, meaning its too late. And she was going to die horribly. Im a jaded person. Not much fazes me. And watching that video hurt my heart. No one on this planet should die of rabies in this day and age.

@@lechu8639 We saw this sad news and responded to some of the posts on other social media platforms, as this was something that was concerning to many people. There are many potential reasons that PEP (vaccine, etc.) could have failed. In order to draw a definite conclusion about what may have gone wrong, we would need to have more information than the article provides us with, such as whether the case was verified as #rabies and how, as well as what exactly happened during the PEP. Many of the initial rabies symptoms are non-specific can easily go undiagnosed (see here rabiesalliance.org/resources/search?type=913) as for example, it would be quite expected to experience a headache after a dog bite as a result of mere stress. Also, we are unsure whether the wound was washed immediately after the exposure (as this greatly reduces risk) and there is no information about the wound category and whether RIG was needed (see rabiesalliance.org/resource/wound-category-poster). If RIG was needed, it is unclear whether it was available, a challenge faced in many dog-rabies endemic countries. Assuming that the vaccines used were high quality World Health Organization (WHO) recommended ones, there are always questions arising re. whether they were maintained correctly (i.e., cold chain), as power outages can often affect the cold chain in those areas where it does exist. There has been no mention re. the dog and any laboratory confirmation of the case, but we would like to highlight here the importance of rabies surveillance and how critical it is so that such cases can be identified and responded to immediately rabiesalliance.org/tools/surveillance-tools

There's a little girl named Precious that survived rabies. It's extremely rare. But some do. It's a disturbing and evil disease.

i find it so sad they’re tied down in their final days. rabies does not typically make human patients violent, it gives them an extreme sensory overload, which naturally causes unconscious lash outs as the overload leads them to subconsciously believe in an urgency to protect oneself - whilst in animals this is biting and scratching, it is kicking and punching in humans, which doesn’t carry much risk of transmission - take an autistic child experiencing a meltdown from sensory overload, for example, yet a tad bit more. if anything, the stigma of “rabies patients must be tied down” could raise the risk of such patients committing violent attacks and doing brash things such as jumping through windows due to a self-fulfilling prophecy as their doctors are trapping them like a dangerous animal and feeding them these ideas of “what rabies patients do” when they already have confused and disoriented psyches susceptible to making such brash actions in response to this information. human to human transmission is incredibly unlikely, only having been documented as a result of tissue or organs being donated to a transplant recipient from a donor who died, but nobody knew their cause of death was rabies. of course, the caution is always wise, but if a rabies patient was simply not tied to their hospital bed by anything other than medical equipment and does not have things such as bars on their doors and windows to imitate a cell as opposed to a normal hospital room, they probably will not try to escape or attack anyone, as a normal unthreatening environment will not emphasise the things their sensory overload is feeding to them over having a need to protect themselves. way too many people confuse rabies in humans with rabies in wild animals, who have very different brains and levels of awareness. that and the stigma carried by sensationalist “zombie virus” comparisons.

@@amystrauss7337 I know that I'm 9 months late, but the simple answer is that once rabies reaches the brain (aka: when you become symptomatic) there is nothing anyone can do for you. (Take the next bits with a massive grain of salt. I'm just a commenter, not an expert) Antiviral medications work with the immune system to fight off infections. Because the rabies virus goes "under the radar" as it travels to the brain, your immune system won't know it's even there and thus won't produce the antibodies that'd fight off most other viruses. A similar rule can apply to getting vaccinated against rabies BEFORE the virus reaches the brain. The vaccine basically sets off the alarms in your body that say "hey, there's a foreign invader! Better clear this out before it does any serious damage" and wipes it all out before it reaches the brain. *Now here's the scary part/why vaccines won't work once you're symptomatic:* Rabies damages your brain. I don't know the science behind it other than as it multiplies and scrambles your brain, you just go freaking berserk. Couple that with the fact that your squishy brain is encased in a hard shell (your skull) and *will* swell from the inflamation as your immune system tries desperately to catch up with and take care of the infection and... it's a recipe for disaster. Basically: the virus will kill your braincells, driving you insane. Your immune system will go haywire and kill your braincells, causing even more irreversible damage. Eventually the brain shuts down and you die.

Because most rabies cases are ‘furious’. They could be a danger to themselves or others even if they seem lucid at the moment. Their brain is being attacked, so at any moment they may seize and spasm just because of a simple draft or a glass of water, they may suddenly become extremely confused and aggressive, they may suddenly want to run and act manic, and they often have wild hallucinations. It’s impossible to know what (if anything) can flip the switch from calm to ‘furious’. Sometimes it’s something they hear, smell or touch, but sometimes it seems to be nothing. One of the medical staff said that they even had to keep them in windowless rooms because some patients would try to hurl themselves out windows.

My dream when I was younger was to get my medical degree and set up a rabies clinic somewhere it was needed. Life had other plans, but my heart still hurts for those who die from rabies and their loved ones.

When handled and administered properly and on time, the vaccine is extremely effective. No vaccine is ever 100% effective, but the rabies vaccine regimen has one of the highest success rates of any vaccine. In tropical and developing areas, a vaccine may be ineffective if it is stored incorrectly or if the patient refuses to finish the treatment due to financial concerns. In some places, such as parts of Africa, the vaccine may prove ineffective against other species of lyssavirus. There is little to no clinical difference between lyssavirus species, and we don't know which ones can and cannot affect humans beyond common rabies. Nor do we know which lyssaviruses respond consistently well to the rabies vaccine and which ones don't. We know Mokola virus does not, but we also know it is survivable without the Milwaukee protocol. There have only been two confirmed human cases of Mokola virus, so we have no idea how survivable it is, but the number is probably low, since it is still a lyssavirus. Mokola virus also lacks the furious stage for which lyssaviruses are named, so it's not easily transmitted from host to host.

If I was in this stage please mercy unalive me 😢

When I think about it, I'm very lucky to have been born in a country where rabies has mostly been eradicated. About 9 years ago when I was living with my grandparents a random bat wound up trapped in our house overnight (seems to have come in when people entered the home without anyone noticing). Luckily everyone spent the night shut in their rooms but it was a huge surprise when we came out the next morning to our cat trying to hunt the poor animal. My grandfather caught the bat with a net and freed it outside, it wasn't acting erratic or like it had rabies, but all the same my grandmother and I checked each other over for any bite marks. We probably should have gone to the doctor for a vaccination just in case, but when we couldn't find any evidence of a bite or scratch we decided not to. At this point given that nobody in the house died of rabies I can assume the bat didn't have it, but in retrospect if it HAD we all could have very easily succumbed to that awful disease. It makes me think that if I were in a country where the disease is more rampant my entire family could have died horrible deaths. I hope developing countries and poorer nations can soon get the problem under control as well, as nobody deserves such a fate.

God bless you all 🙏🏽

However, our work has helped progress rabies elimination a long way and the Philippines is getting closer to the goal of being dog rabies free. One of the most noteworthy thing that we have done is to integrate rabies education into the national curriculum, ensuring that every child is taught about rabies and how to prevent it.
