[QUOTE="werk, post: 2330972, member: 29663"] It makes your brain swell. (the following is courtesy of CNN's health library) Rabies is a serious viral disease that affects the central nervous system. It typically spreads by way of the saliva of infected animals — often, but not always, through a bite. Once you're infected, the virus spreads from your muscle to your peripheral nerves to your spinal cord and brain. From initial flu-like signs and symptoms, the illness progresses to convulsions, hallucinations, paralysis or breathing failure and almost always death once the infection is established. It's important to seek treatment immediately after exposure. Signs and symptoms of rabies usually appear within one to three months after exposure. Rabies is nearly always fatal once symptoms appear. Death from breathing failure often happens within a week after the appearance of signs and symptoms. Early signs and symptoms of rabies in humans are general and not unique to the disease. They may include: -Fever -Headache -Malaise As the disease progresses, signs and symptoms may include: -Insomnia -Anxiety -Confusion -Slight or partial paralysis -Excitation -Hallucinations -Agitation -Excessive salivation (hypersalivation) -Difficulty swallowing -Fear of water (hydrophobia) because of the difficulty in swallowing A bite's severity and its location on your body can determine how quickly signs and symptoms appear. A severe bite to your head might cause problems to appear in a much shorter time than might those of a bite to your leg. In rare cases, signs and symptoms might not appear for a year or longer after exposure to the virus. [/QUOTE]
