Eh, maybe. But it served its purpose and scared the shit out of me. I’m curious if rabies sufferers will dehydrate themselves to the point of death. Another wiki hole, here I come!
Comment on I just learned 37% of Americans fear vaccinating their dog will cause the dog to develop autism. 😐
ngdev@lemmy.zip 1 day agoim calling bullshit on whoever told you that. im pretty sure ive heard that same story. also, rabies causes fear of water so theyd likely die of dehydration way sooner

Checking back in.
Rabies sufferers die from encephalopathic hemorrhaging way before dehydration. So I guess I’m not remembering the timeline accurately.

It’s a nervous infection, ascending paralysis until coma and death. Aversion to water is the least of the problems.
