If somebody has rabies it almost always means inevitably death because the person won’t be able to drink water anymore(i guess the “not able to drink water in not the only reason but one of the main reasons)
Why is it not possible to put somebody in a coma and feed him trough tubes until he recovers ?
In: Biology
rabies is a virus. problem is it doesn’t tend to show any symptoms until the virus has already reached your brain (encephalitis) and by this point it’s too late to save you. so it’s not the lack of water but the viral brain infection that kills you. if you are treated before the virus spreads to your brain you will usually be ok. that’s why it’s important to get treated asap if you believe you’ve been bitten by a rabid animal
