Eli5 why rabies is 100% lethal
In: 2
It isn’t. But the virus very quietly/“sneakily” goes to the brain before it starts actually causing symptoms, so by the time you are symptomatic, you are most likely past saving. Rabies can be prevented/treated by a series of vaccinations administered as soon as possible after the suspected infection. The patient must be proactive in order to protect themselves.
