Just saw a video about rabies having 100% kill rate, peaked my interest.
Why is rabies such a horrible thing and what does it actually do to be able to kill you without an actual cure etc?
EDIT: I didn’t expect so many responses to this, thank you to everyone who answered!

As I [understand it](https://www.israel21c.org/how-rabies-goes-from-bite-site-to-brain/), unlike most pathogens, rabies travels through the body (from the infection site to the brain) via the nerve-cell network, not through your bloodstream where your immune system is most powerful. Resultantly, it’s much more difficult to treat than other types of infections.
