Fuck rabies

If I ever got infected and symptoms set in, I would blow my head off so fucking fast.

Rabies, once symptoms develop, is 100% fatal. You can't drink, you can't eat, you can't even swallow your own saliva that your mouth constantly makes. You spasm, and sweat, and go nuts.

If you get infected, and you are given treatment in the form of a vaccine before you develop any symptoms, you will be fine. But once any symptoms arrive, you're going to die a slow uncomfortable death.

Fuck. Rabies.

Rabies has always been one of my biggest fears because it's just so horrible all around.

Then I won't link to the video that scared the shit out of me.

It was a medical film documenting an outbreak in Iran. From the look of the quality and the voice over, it looked to be quite old. And then, to add insult to infection, whoever put the damn thing up on the internet laid in some creepy background music.

Your fear is well deserved.

Oh, I've seen the clinical videos of patients succumbing to it and it looked every bit as bad as I imagined it would be. The fact that a virus like that exists is just horribly disturbing.

A vaccine you say? I have an immune system, thank you very much. I‘m not injecting myself with that poison!
