Eli5 why rabies is 100% lethal
In: 2
There was one woman who survived but she was pretty messed up after and took over a year to mostly recover but she’s studying biology now. I had originally thought she miraculously survived on her own but doctors induced a coma to give her immune system time to fight the virus while keeping her brain from killing her. I hope I’m not oversimplifying it, read the article for fuller details.
