@@TheOne-tl6nj the last part isn't true, most animals with rabies don't eat anymore because they lose control of their lower jaw and tongue. And they can't drink water because it causes throat spasms when they drink not because they don't digest it.
So sad, I wonder what thoughts or feelings go on in those infected. Must be so terrible to be aware that you lost control over your body and brain, and turn into a despicable monster 👹
Moral: Rabies is either 99.9999999% fatal or 100% curable. So go to doctor Everytime an animal bites you, don't assume it's okay and gamble your life with your optimism.
If anyone could answer me that would be great my cat doesn't have any of the symptoms of rabies and I don't think he has rabies but he bites me when I play with him so idk if Im fine or is this normal
I remember one of my parents' friends died from rabies.. I was around 3 at the time so I don't know or remember the exact details. I have a memory of visiting him in the hospital and it haunts me to this day, he was twitching nonstop and jerking his head with his eyes wide open, he died a few days later. He had told my parents to look after his kids after he passes, and they kept their promise. Now his kids are about the same age as me, a little older, and we're all in college 🙂
@@Swinutt imagine being a Zombie, and thinking I'll not bite other humans lol Dude, when you Become a Zombie, Your brain will be a Death tissue! Your body would be controlled by Those viruses in your Nervous system
Gina is not the only person to have survived rabies. In November 1969, an Ohio boy, Matthew Winkler, was bitten by a rabid bat which got into his bedroom. He had no immediate treatment, & developed rabies. Doctors basically treated the symptoms, & kept him alive long enough for his immune system to beat it. At the time, he was the only known person in the history of humanity to have survived rabies once it had taken hold in the body. 🦇

@@explanationtomakethisworld9833 The Milwaukee protocol rarely works. Out of all the times it's been tried, two or three people have lived. It's also not feasible in many areas without adequate resources.
I was bit by a rabid dog in 2019, he bit almost 35 people in out locality including 1 girl on the head and an old woman who passed away shortly... thank God I got the vaccine shortly after and got the other booster doses so all is good
@@_N3P7UN3_ 2 days or 10 days Depends where you have been bitten. It's distance from brain. After entering your blood via bite Rabies virus travels to your nerves. Via nerves it travels through your nervous system to reach brain. Once in brain it hijacks you and makes you zombie. So if you are bitten in leg which is mostly case, it will take long time to reach upto brain. If you are bitten in head you better go to hospital asap or you already a zombie.
Good thing I’m from Hawaii. There are NO rabies. Plus, there’s an animal quarantine center to test animals coming from the mainland to test for any diseases.
I know of one woman who was bitten by a stray kitten as a girl while trying to crawl out under from her mobile home after trying to retrieve a toy. She was put in a coma by dropping her body temperature (I believe) and she survived although her heart had extensive damage. She managed to have 2 kids before dying in her 30s. It was in Kansas.
Rabies needs a warm environment to survive. The rabies virus cannot “survive” any longer when the body temperature is dropped, therefore this is the reason being put into an induced coma could save you.
@TedH71 no, you didn't understand, the normal body of beings that are not reptiles for instance is warm enough to please the virus. He doesn't talk about cold Alaska or whatever but the body temperature.
My mom and brother claim to have seen a rabid cat. I wasn't there, but they said they saw a cat with its mouth hanging open, and it was uncontrollably twitching. My mom prevented us from going outside for about a week just to be safe. But I'm glad I wasn't there because it sounded really scary.
@@noahtheguy1828 Whenever you spot something strange, specially if it seems like some kind of disease, then think wisely and inform the right authority. I think we humans took a lesson of how dangerous a simple virus can be for the whole humanity.... in 2020. I don't know about everyone, but I was really scared. I hope all of us, the whole humanity stays safe from deadly viruses.....
I can't say I know anyone that'd go out and pet a wild animal. That should be common sense, even if they're not showing any signs of rabies. They're wild animals, and can carry fleas, ticks, or other unpleasant diseases
the general public is stupid and u will have fools that might try to pet it. I had a neighbor tell people that a bobcat isn't dangerous before. We all look at her like she was dumb. She's a mother and don't think. Wild animals can be dangerous and kill
Rest easy to all the little angels shown in this video, your suffering is long over, you can rest now ❤️ (Ong y'all are chronically online if you think I don't care about human beings cause of this comment. Like that's a whole new sentence you just made up tf is you on about
Hi dear. Been through this. When I was young, a dog scratched me with his teeth. He showed the same symptoms. I immediately went to the hospital and got a rabies dose. Got 5 doses. And now am fine.
Pretty sure we had a rabid skunk in our backyard about 35 years ago. Full daylight, and the skunk was just rolling around in the dirt (and generally looking freaky). No one was allowed out of the house until the animal control person came and took it. I don’t think I was even 10 years old, but it was scary- sticks with you!
Fortunately, after a while, you won’t quite know what’s going on. Especially if you get put into a medically induced coma, you definitely won’t know what’s happening anymore
Being one who travels regularly, all educational info helps keep me on my toes since I'm naturally friendly with animals. Once, as I was feeding birds, the larger Crow looking birds monopolized the food from the small birds. So I placed more food out specifically for the small birds and stood guard as they ate and as all the large birds stayed back and at bay. It's amazing how animals know what I'm expecting of them. I continued on guard for nearly 5 minutes (since I had to go to work) but once I left, all the large birds flocked over every bit that was left over... Animals and Babies can sense my calm, caring, peaceful demeanored Spirit, and come to me (without hesitation) to be petted, talked too, or held, at which I warm-heartily accommodated many for years now. Some Animals (mainly dogs) didn't want to part with me as they were willing to ditch their Owners. So far none have bitten or shown any adversed aggression towards me. So, I will continue being an animal lover, but be alert for signs of abnormalities. Thanks for these informative videos... 😇
The woman that survived and made a full recovery (assumedly) is impressive. One story I heard was before medical comas, a person survived but was permanently brain damaged.
The saddest thing. Having your pup or cat come in from being outside. Then over time. You notice something happening with them. Knowing it’s no longer your pet. You have to put it down due to rabies. That. That would break my heart
This channel doesn't provide this info. But, I thought to inform everybody through this comment. If bitten by an animal, (or scratched or even if licked) the very first thing to do is to clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water. Then immediately visit a hospital where vaccination facility is available. There they will assess the situation, may give you a tetanus injection along with Rabies Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) treatment. Doctor may inject you with Rabies Immunoglobulin at several places of your body including the area around the wound. Then there will be Rabies vaccine as per two regimens Intradermal (ID) OR Intramuscular(IM) which you have to take periodically ( 4-5 injections). Rememer the closer the wound is to the brain, the riskier it is. For example getting bitten on the shoulder is riskier than getting bitten in the leg. But both poses life-threatening risk. So do not neglect.
Thanks, I don't live in America, but it's always a good thing to learn about as it can happen anywhere in the world . It's not just the thought of getting rabies that is traumatic but it's seeing these poor animals suffer this way. They can't help what they're doing, they're terrified too & how much pain are they in, bless them. 😟❤️
@@nestorjrabalos1998 Just saying whattever country these animals with rabies are, it's still traumatic for them too as at least humans can guess what's going on where animals know they're I'll but that's it so it's terrifying for them.
I have seen people get infected with rabies mostly bitten by rabid dogs and cats.Many of them are children,who didnt tell their parents that they are bitten and keep it hidden until the symptoms begins to show and too late to cure.Some are adults who turn to quack doctors instead of proper doctors.. You can see them shivering, twitching, highly sensitive and afraid of light particularly sunlight and water, some are shouting and screaming in pain as the virus destroy their brain and organs until they die..A fearful sight indeed..
Another thing to look for is a mangy looking tail. Foxes usually have bushy tails, so if it looks thin and mangy, call the police. My husband had to do that so they could go find the one he saw wandering an industrial park. Another thing to watch for is their habits. If they’re nocturnal by nature and you see them out during the day, especially if they come close to you (as they try to avoid humans and their dwellings during day hours) it’s probably rabid. I’ve lived in a very rural area all my life and there were a lot of things we were taught to watch out for with wildlife and possibly rabid animals. Always call authorities if you suspect a rabid animal and give them as much information as you can as to their location. If you live in a small borough like me, it’s not usually animal control that comes out. It’s usually the cops that will hunt it down and put it out of its misery. If need be, call 911. Sometimes it’s an emergency if the animal is very vicious. Always err on the side of caution, not just for you but for the sake of others as well.
Me: Having a pretty bad headache and sometimes feeling dizzy The Doctor: Maybe it's just a Cold or The Flu, just take this medication and rest and you will be fine *Google:*
Because it only affects mammals, that means even a giant blue whale is able to get rabies. However I read online that no documented case of that has ever happened and it is basically slim to none chance. But they said symptoms of rabies in a whale would be odd swimming patterns and constantly bumping into things 😅
my uncle also survived, one mroe person, you can ask anyone, he got to the stage of drooling, but prayer of thousands of people made him live, almost everyone prayed without sleep for him for days,. having little to no sleep. prayer works too..

Even in Brazil, where I'm from and live, rabies is pretty rare. I never heard of anyone getting it in the region i live. There are though a few cases annually reported, usually in the northern region, in rural areas. It's usually transmitted by bats from what I hear, not much from dogs or cats. There was a guy who managed to survive rabies years ago, it's said to be one of the first survivors in the country, a guy who was bitten by a bat whilst sleeping. He is still alive but suffers from neurological consequences of the disease and needs a wheelchair to go about.
Rabies seems more and more like bullshit to me. We scare people from "developed", "rich" countries with that disease. We tell them about vaccines, about how many people die in poor countries. It is always far away, where we cannot tell. We have a few footage of people salivating, angry animals. Usually all the same. I came to severely doubt about it. Even the way we cure it sounds weird. With a vaccine. Like, a post-infection vaccine. A vaccine that does not prevent, a vaccine that cures. In fact it prevents so fast that it cures. It could be named a drug, a remedy, but no : it's a vaccine. But that you inject yourself shortly after being contaminated. It goes against what we were all taught about vaccines.
Here in Brazil only 2 people died of Rabies, one in 1900 and something and another recently on 2022 edit: My bad, that's actually the data for the capital, Brasilia, not the entire country
@@huiledenoix8014 "De acordo com o Ministério da Saúde, entre os anos de 2010 e 2022 foram registrados 45 casos de raiva humana no Brasil. Desse total, cinco ocorreram neste ano e todos os pacientes foram a óbito. Aug 2, 2022" So... in 2022 alone, 5 people died. All the 5 cases last year resulted in death.
If you get bit by any wild animal just go get the shots ASAP. Once you start having symptoms, you just aren't going to make it. Scary stuff but I have never seen an animal with rabies act that aggressively.
I left a comment about it but I've had a groundhog rush me twice as a homeowner asked for my assistance with getting rid of a beaver that was attacking her kids in a pool! This thing was swimming after them and then got out of the pool and charged me. It was nuts! Luckily it ran back to the treeline and her father came by later to shoot it.
Hydrophobia in rabies fact: - if you know somebody who feels sick & vomits everytime he attempts to drink liquid but has no problem swallowing solid food, ask that person if he has been bitten by any animal or has been licked by pets or non-pet animals. That person just might have hydrophobia secondary to rabies.
Rabies is why my wildlife teacher in highschool was strict about how who handled her animals. If we weren't members of the after school wildlife club and trained on a specific animal, we weren't allowed to hold an animal. She didn't want to risk our health or the animals. The only animal no one was allowed to present was her fox. Yes she had all of the paperwork for her animals and was legally allowed to care for wildlife.
This video is about how to survive attacks from animals with rabies, but I’m more concerned about the animals themselves: they look like they are suffering very much, it’s similar to a seizure but much worse
A stray dog once bit my dad in his butt lmao and he immediately went to the hospital to get the treatment. Luckily he was fine bcz it turned out that the dog wasn't infected anyways.
My uncle also survive rabies without vaccination.it was very horrible he acts like dog try to bite other.and 2 week later he was totally fine without any medicine.Alhamdolilah.Bangladesh
There was a case some year’s ago, of a soldier from India that died 11 year’s later, after a pet dog with rabies scratched him on his leg. Then their was that case of a U.S Soldier that got bitten on his hand by a stray dog in Afghanistan; and died a couple of month’s later from rabies. They said that he was the last U.S Soldier to be labeled as a casualty of war from that disease, since the Vietnam War.
My good friends father who is 76 is an avid hunter and outdoors man who has had eight, yes 8, rabies scares throughout his life. That was when they administer the multiple, horrendous shots through the abdomen.
I was asked to rid a "beaver" from a backyard pool. I'm merely a landscaper, not pest control haha. Took a pitchfork back and found a groundhog swimming in the pool. It chased fairly young kids out of the pool as it tried attacking them. Luckily they got away and in the house. The groundhog swam to the edge, jumped out the 4 ft pool and charged me! I used the pitchfork to ward off the rabid animal, which eventually fled. I talked to a next door neighbor about the groundhog as he said he feeds it and watches it run across his yard every morning. Mentioned it could have rabies, the lady with the pool had her dad come to shoot it. The way the groundhog charged was crazy. I later found out that a neighbors dog was attacked by another animal and a guy was bit by that dog....rabbies may be the scariest virus to research
In a pool? With hydrophobia being one of the main symptoms, this make's Rabies an unlikely candidate. The more probable issue I would say is Toxoplasma gondii (Toxoplasmosis) the parasite known for turning Rodents aggressive and seemingly suicidal by charging at would be predators such as cats and dogs
@@jimpickens4067 could be but the fact that a neighbors dog was attacked and bitten and shown signs, to either the homeowner or vet, draws a possibility. I was unaware of the fear of water until this video. So your theory sounds more plausible than rabbies, but I'm sure there are periods where the fear hasnt set in. Idk just sharing a story that seemed to fit the conversation.
@@jimpickens4067 hydrophobia is usually absent in most animals. If animals are unable to drink water, it's because of paralysis of the throat and jaw muscles.
That young girl is NOT the only person to have survived rabies. Many years ago I watched one of those real life medial shows and there was a homeless man in the US who was bit by a dog and survived. That was in the 1980's some time, and the following is about an 8 yo girl named Precious Reynolds written in the Denver Post: The hospital said she is the third person in the United States known to have recovered from the virus without having antiviral inoculations immediately after becoming infected, a figure confirmed by U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention statistics on rabies cases.
That's why it used to be caused "the hydrophobe." Foaming at the mouth, and getting especially worked up if they try to drink. Rabies fatalities in the US are usually in the single digits every year.
Hydrophobia... Afraid to drink water. This is insane how a disease can change your mind to be afraid of something vital. It's heartbreaking these mammals( humans&animals.) Fall victim to this disease.
There Was A Case Found When A Tribal Man suddenly started biting and acting ferocious and attacking, even after arrested he was showing some shiver or chill shocks like behaviour sudden cry or shouting, loss of concious control and trying to free himself aggressively, At the very last stage Human beings also start'barking'( actually loud cries or even stuttering), and some show just chills some turn biting and violent Seeing any animal (including human beings) in such immense suffering is scary and beyond words
I love this channel but this video is legitimately really hard to watch. As an animal person, I'm tearing up seeing all these animals suffer through this sinister disease. :(
I got just scratched by a puppy which was a part of a dog family on my farm. The day I returned home I started feeling dizzy, I started vomitting and I got high fever. I had to take the vaccine immediately. It sure is very painful and I must tell u guys that u need to be cautious when talking about such diseases like Rabies they are deadly.
That werent rabies symptoms, if it were you would die. Also symptoms take from 2 weeks to 2 months to actually appear after you get exposed to the virus.
I’ve seen once and heard of several cases in my country. The affected will show similar symptoms like drooling, scared of water, barking, muscle twitching and may even bite. It had to be extremely painful and devastating they suffered 😢
I worked at a animal shelter and we had a bad outbreak of rabies so we had to take a rabies vax which consist of 3 different shot's. And that sht messed with me big time, but better safe then sorry
You should had vaccinated your pet when you adopted him after every 6 months or such they need to be vaccinated. Any ways you learnt your lesson & Rip poor soul
In building a subdivision along a creek one summer, we disturbed a lot of raccoon and skunk dens. I shot any that didnt run away and acted strangely. The wildlife officer that recovered them told me 10 of 12 had rabies. Apparently it had spread through that whole area.
@@johnkidd1226 I dont know what I would have YOU do, I only know what I would do. I dont like to play god, I wouldn't shoot any of them. Not saying my way is best, but the only one with which I could sleep at night.
I tell my parents after 4 days that I was bitten by a dog my parents scold me very much and immediately to the hospital. Now , I am thinking that what would happen if I don't tell. Life was so beautiful thanks God❤️
I got bitten by a bat when I was younger while trying to get it out of my class. I thought it was cool and showed it to my friend who thought it looked cool as well but let me know that her mom told me to get a vaccine as soon as possible the next day because I might get rabies. I didnt know what rabies was back then and neither did she and thought going to youtube and checking out a video of a guy dying of rabies would be a wonderful idea....yeah....we took it just as well as any duo of primary schoolers in those circumstances would have....
Crazy, coincidentally i was going to give water and maybe some food to this dog that sort of followed me. He didn't look too great, at first i was a bit afraid but he seemed harmless. I think his eye was infected... I think he was drooling... Edit: I'm 90% sure he has the early sign symptoms...
Depends. He might be just sick. And you maybe his only hope. You can run and leave some water there…when it’s not standing right there obviously. Then watch through the window. Is it drinking water ? Is it eating ? Is it aggressive ? Call the nearest animal control or animal shelter. You have done your bit.
The basic rules I have been taught was to go to the hospital if an animal bites you. We have bats in our area, they even come to hunt around the city, so anything can happen. Surprisingly, I have never heard or seen something even mentioning a rabid animal in town.
So, slight misnomer. Rather than "Survive", "How to Prevent" might be more accurate. Good sensible advice, even if it's put me off going on a hike any time soon...
I agree. Either get a shot in the arm by a small needle if you catch it early or get a large silver stake through your heart (literally) if it's too late because being a member of the undead is not as "fun" as you read in horror books. Either way you're getting pricked.
When I was a kid a nice guy at our church got rabies. It was likely a bat but I don't think he even knew he had been bitten. I visited him at the hospital before we knew what he had. He didn't act crazy. Just a little annoyed about the hospital food. If a raccoon is out during the day that is enough to have it eliminated. My parents live on a farm with chickens so they don't like 'coons as it is but if one was out during the day everyone (including animals) had to go inside and stay inside until it was dead. Opossums don't carry rabies so as long as they leave the chickens alone (they usually do as there is cat food left out for them and the many cats that are abandoned there) they can stay. When I was a kid we had one that we could watch from the kitchen door's window. We named him Frank and would greet him when we saw him. They are not the most beautiful of God's creations but they do have the cutest little noses and the babies are cute.
I remember seeing a rabid dog roaming around the housing estate I lived in, the dog warden had to be called and had to put the dog to sleep there and then,as the dog had obviously been infected for a while and had gone beyond help it was foaming at the mouth, everyone had to go indoors in case the dog attacked,it was horrific to watch the dog suffer, the dog warden had to dart it as it was too dangerous to inject the euthanasia drug,
I woke up to a bad flying around in my bedroom when I was younger. I had a little mark on my leg that could have easily been a mosquito scab or something else so I took no chances. I went in and got the series of rabies shots that weren’t fun at all. Those rabies shots made some kind of weird symptoms for at least a few years afterwards. I sometimes think I have some weird stuff to this day due to those shots but I at least knew I was safe.
This is a helpful fact people and animals the have gained rabies are hydrophobic and are scared of water so always carry a water bottle with you when you on a hike so if you see a rapid animal spray the water at it it should run off!
Has anyone seen the rabies video of what happens if you catch it...Whats really messed up is that if you get rabies and you don't get the shot your pretty much screwed
If by "get rabies" you mean "start displaying symptoms of rabies", then shot or no shot you are screwed. On the other hand, if you mean "get bitten by a rabid animal" then the shots are your only chance. Seems to me I just read that the series is now a shot of rabies immune gobulin as close to the wound as possible and three or four doses of vaccine given in the arm.
