In the 1970s thousands of Chickenheads rained from the sky in Europe, making foxes and other wildlife confused and very happy. Why? They were filled with a vaccine to fight the deadliest virus known to humanity - since the 1930s a rabies epidemic had been sweeping across wildlife populations in Europe and humans wanted to finally get rid of the virus once and for all.
Rabies is named after Lyssa, the ancient Greek spirit of mad rage, and has been haunting us for at least 4000 years. It can turn animals into angry beasts and humans into zombies that fear water. But what makes Lyssa fascinating is not just how bizarre and deadly its infection is, but also how incredibly good it is at avoiding our defenses.

It has been suggested that the vampire myth originated from people infected with rabies. Since rabies causes light hypersensitivity, hydrophobia, aggression, and occasional biting, it fits the narrative of a typical vampire who goes out at night, is scared of holy water, and sometimes bites people. It’s interesting to think about anyway!
@Balin_James

Two months ago, I thought I was going to die from rabies. I was on vacation in Morocco and attempted to pet a dog on the beach. It bit me and ran off. "Oh, that guy is angry, lol." - I thought. I had never heard that rabies was fatal, so I just ignored the subject, returned to my home country, and resumed my normal life. Ten days later, I was on my way to work and began to feel an itchy sensation in the area of the bite, accompanied by a strange headache. I searched for my symptoms online and discovered that rabies could be the cause. I then researched rabies further and watched a video that explained everything. That marked the beginning of the worst ten days of my life. Then, I immediately sought medical assistance. I went to the ER and described my symptoms. The doctors were concerned, as rabies rates in Morocco are high. Unfortunately, the rabies vaccine was only available at one hospital in the entire city, so I had to wait an entire day to receive it. That night, I didn't sleep, work, or eat I went to get my vaccine, fully aware that if rabies was the cause of my symptoms, it might be too late. The doctor who administered the vaccine appeared worried as well, though she tried to hide it. I received two doses of the vaccine and immunoglobulin to boost my immune system. Now, it was a matter of waiting. Unfortunately, my symptoms worsened. I started to feel dizzy and very anxious, both symptoms of rabies. However, I also experienced panic attacks. So I wasn't sure if I had rabies or if I was just having a panic attack. I was terrified, so I created my will online. I recorded a video for my mom, my girlfriend, and my two best friends, explaining why I thought I was going to die and wish them the best. The next day, I developed a fever (which I later learned was also a side effect of the vaccine). I couldn't help but cry. I wasn't afraid of dying; I was afraid of dying from rabies. The following day, I visited a rabies specialist in my city and described my symptoms. He assured me, "You don't have rabies. Go home and live your life." Of course, there was no way to verify his claim. Apparently, there's no such thing as a reliable rabies test. You can receive false negatives until you are literally in the ER being resuscitated. Luckily, rabies kills quickly, so I just had to endure ten days of agony. If I wasn't dead in ten days, I would be rabies-free. That's exactly what happened. I received my additional doses and now I am fine. I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone. It's mentally and psychologically exhausting. Even now, watching videos related to rabies makes me feel uncomfortable. It took me weeks to return to a normal sleep schedule and social life. Please, if you get bitten, seek vaccination immediately.

I remember reading that one of the most-affected parts of the brain by rabies is actually the amygdala, which controls a person's fear response. It essentially gets permanently switched on, so not only are you in agony as your brain expands and your muscles spasm uncontrollably, but you are trapped in a permanent state of terror where everything and everyone seems like a threat to you.

When I was 19, an erratic bat that crashed with almost every object around entered in my house, and when I tried to grab the creature to throw it back outside, it bit me. My mother was highly concerned about what just happened, she seemed almost hysteric and I of course thought she was overreacting. She took me to a clinic that same night and made me take the anti-rabies vaccine, the first shot of many that I had to take in order complete the treatment. Reading afterwards about the awful and agonizing death that rabies patients suffer when they are left unattended, I am very grateful to my mother for her urgency and don't wanna think too much about what would have happened if she hadn't been around to act so quickly and decidedly. Most probably I would have forgotten about the bite the next day and would have died in the next few months. She saved my life.

I’m so sorry you had to go through that. Feel free to ignore this, I’m just curious. I thought that the virus spreading through bites was just a clever way of using what most animals have as their natural mechanism of aggression to spread the disease. Humans don’t usually show aggression through biting. I thought that the ‘furious’ part of the virus was just general aggression/agitation of the victim. Is that not the case?

Bats actually very rarely carry rabies. They sleep in elevated places, and the undergrowth beneath is covered in guano, which has enough ammonia in it to drive most other things away. They're shockingly clean & tidy. BUT... bats are nocturnal, timid, and very reclusive. So if you actually meet a bat in daylight, and it actually bites you, you're dealing with a bat which is displaying very, very strange behavior for a bat. Thus there is valid concern. If you happen upon a place where bats sleep though, the odds that any of them have rabies is extraordinarily low. _Much_ lower than rabbits, squirrels, or racoons. They're not afraid of light. They're afraid of going out in the light and being eaten by things which use light to see them. Ideally, you _want_ lots of bats in your area. They devour bugs at a rate which would make a bug zapper jealous, poop super-concentrated fertilizer, and bend over backwards to stay out of the way. There are a few species which could be considered a pest. But the vast majority of species make ideal neighbors. Anyway, rabies is a terrifying virus. Be careful of any wild mammal which is acting strangely. And if you do get bit by a wild animal, go get the shots, immediately. If you want to roll the dice about whether the animal had rabies... by the time you actually feel symptoms, you're already past curing and will die, horrifically.

I remember that the nurse took each needle by itself (not attached to a syringe) and, with one quick motion, "threw" it into my buttock almost like a dart. _Then_ she plugged the syringe to it and injected. I don't know if that's normal for buttock injections, but it seemed strange. She seemed to know what she was doing, though.

Every history documentary I've ever watched only ever details the symptoms of patients, how the disease is spread; and then the social and political ramifications it had on European society. It would be very interesting to learn how the Black Death works on a cellular level, and how it managed to slay 2/3 of the population in Europe in 1348 - then how it came and went in the next 300 years and possibly wrapping up with how it eventually died out in 17th century.

Was talking to my mom a few weeks ago when she casually mentioned my grandpa was bitten by a bat. I freaked out, especially when she said he hadn't been to the hospital and wasn't going to go until he felt sick. I made her hang up with me and call him to tell him to go to the hospital. I've always been a bit 'morbid' and rabies has been a fascination/ fear of mine since I was a kid. I thought my grandpa knew about rabies because he was a firefighter and therefore had first responder training and had done rabies vaccination drives (for dogs) at firehouses. Turns out he didn't know how bad it was. He hated the vaccine regimen, but I'm glad he listened and went and got it.

@@hoihoipoipoi This isn't true. Rabies is definitely slow with an incubation period of 2 - 3 months according to the WHO and "weeks to months" according to the CDC. You can get the vaccine any time within that incubation period. The full vaccination course (with 5 doses) takes 14 days, and while a few people have survived without the full 5 doses (take this part with a grain of salt because I don't fully remember it), it's generally best to get all the shots. Rabies may kill people quickly after symptoms present, but it's more likely than not that they were actually exposed to the virus months in advance. Secondly, if we're referring to the same person, they were using an experimental treatment called the Milwaukee Protocol to try to treat rabies. While that procedure worked on the patient, it has only worked that single time, while failing on 25 other patients it was attempted on. Due to this low success rate and high cost, it's more likely that the success was a fluke due to outside factors, and so it's generally not recommended now if I remember correctly.

Suuuuuuuuuuper rare but true, you don't need to be bitten to get an indirect case of rabies but it's, as mentioned, very very very rare. You're more likely to die of a car crash on the way to work than to contract rabies in this manner, but if any animal licks an open wound that you don't know (Or even your own pet, if you get licked or bit by your pet and it dies within 10 days, generally, you need to get a vaccine.) But the best case for questions about rabies is your states health department, most of them will have an epidemiologist on call ready for any rabies questions or concerns.

The health department then told me to look for the animal within 2 weeks. If I saw her again, she likely didn’t have rabies. If I didn’t, I was instructed to get the $10,000 rabies vaccine 😮 on day 13, I saw the rude cat once again and reported back that I likely did not have rabies. Scary 2 weeks for sure!

She saw tetanus and rabies cases every year where some neighbor didn't get a child or older farmer the proper shots when bitten by bats, or when they got poked by a rusty piece of metal. I still remember her crying in the nurses lounge when I was a child because of a similar kid who died to rabies from a possum. (she would 'babysit' me there, aka the other nurses would')

Tetanus coming from rusty metal is a medical old-wives tale, you can get tetanus from anything unsanitary, it’s a bacterial infection. In fact much like copper oxide, iron oxide has antimicrobial properties, you’re much more likely to get tetanus from not washing up properly after the bathroom or scraping your knee.

Actually, tetanus doesn't have much to do with rusty nails, the bacteria that causes it lives in a lot of places, almost everywhere. For example, if you cut yourself, and then smear dirt all over the cut, you might get tetanus. Rust is just usually an indicator that the nail itself probably has the bacteria on it, because it's been out for long and had a good chance to get infected, and nails are just... pretty good at poking you and getting the bacteria in your body, but the disease itself doesn't have much to do with rust.

A few points: 1) Up to 2004 no person had survived rabies after the onset of symptoms. However, since that time 29 people have survived through new techniques such as The Milwaukee Protocol. Still, when you consider that over 55,000 people die from rabies each year, 29 survivors in 18 years still means that rabies is almost 100% fatal after the onset of symptoms. 2) Birds have been found to carry rabies antibodies, showing that they’ve been infected. However they never become symptomatic. 3) At one point near the end, you imply (with a picture) that squirrels may be rabid. While this is possible since squirrels are mammals, it would be an extremely rare event, because any squirrel that’s bitten by a rabid animal will very likely die immediately. This is why rabies is more common in larger mammals, which can be bitten but survive long enough for the virus to incubate.

Imagine being the first city to experience it when absolutely no one had it before; the 1/3rd death rate from the Black Death would've been child's play in comparison. And even if you survive, well, every single skill is critical for your town and no plague will ever kill equal rates of each skill, you might have enough coopers but none of the smiths survived, or you have enough smiths but no millers, the complete loss of any one skillset could simply doom your town. It's really surprising we've been able to get as advanced as we have without being taken out by disease.

It's not an absolute certainty but very very close to that. As far as I could find, there are only 29 reported cases of rabies survivors worldwide (1st entrance in the list is from 1970) and only 4 of those made a complete recovery without long term consequences. Using Kurzgesagt's provided 60'000 deaths per year (8:30) that makes around 3 million deaths since 1970. So the survival rate is 29/3'000'000 = 0.00096% and the rate of complete recovery is 4/3'000'000 = 0.00013%

@@65nidheeshkumarprabakaramo68 The extrinsic pathway for apoptosis induced by CD8 cytotoxic T cells involves FAS signaling and utilizes caspase 3 to activate apoptotic effectors, thereby inducing DNA and protein digestion within the cell and ultimately leading to blebbing from the membrane while containing the viral particles within those discrete membrane pieces. While recent literature have identified alternative routes such as necroptosis, it would appear that mechanism may be involved in the lysis of tumor cells. Furthermore, from an evolutionary approach, it would appear counterproductive for the immune system to utilize necrosis in the case of viral infection due to how the rupture of infected cells results in the explosion of infectious particles into the surrounding matrix, thereby further propagating the infection.

I don't even want to step on the floor of the house, if there are guests who have dogs. Even holding money I wash my hands 😭. I also consult a doctor every time I see a dog, I ask if I catch rabies if the virus evaporates in the air. In fact, I always felt that my life would not be long, even though I had never been bitten or scratched by an animal. and every day I'm always in a panic. I don't know, because when I went to school I passed a dog. until I always buy handsanitazer and masks when leaving the house. oh god I'm tired of living in fear. every day there is something that makes me afraid of rabies. and today I met a bat when running the motorbike at high speed and the bat was right in front of me but fortunately after I checked my body no one was bitten. and I am currently haunted by what if bat saliva gets into my eyes. and it always gets past me. i hope nothing happens what i want .

The Milwaukee Protocol was, at one point, theorized as our best chance to combat rabies once it entered the body in the event that it was too late for the vaccine but before advanced symptoms developed. The idea was to put the patient in a medically induced coma and being pumped with antivirals as well as other drugs such as Ketamine. The suppressed brain activity would essentially slow the spread of the virus which would provide the body with extra time to combat the viral infection. While it worked in one case which became the first known survival of rabies it also failed in over two-dozen other attempts and is only seen as a last resort.

There are few things in life that scare me the exact and powerful way that rabies does. My sister and I were coming home from the zoo once, when we saw a young raccoon in broad daylight, acting strangely, and noticeably unwell. Staggering up toward any person that came by. It should immediately set off alarm bells for you to see a raccoon acting that unafraid of humans. That little guy caught sight of me, and a chase ensued. It would not leave me alone no matter where I went. First and only time I’ve been that viscerally afraid before. At that point I was weaving between cars, shouting “Help me” several times. I had to make a few laps around some vehicles and frantically yell for my sister to unlock the door to our car, and then race back around and scramble inside before it could crawl under the car and get to me. We were sure to warn others around the parking lot not to go near that poor thing, some unsuspecting folks were *walking towards the raccoon with their children.* Do not fuck around with sick animals. Rabies will fuck you up slowly and irreparably. As soon as you show symptoms, it’s all over.

When I was camping as a young kid I wondered out loud if I could catch one of the thousands of tiny bats on the lake in a net. My parents didn't care because they obviously didn't expect a kid to catch a bat in the pitch black with a butterfly net. Sure enough, I did. I literally grabbed the thing out of the net with my bare hands and ran up to the camp site to show them. My dad right away told me to throw it away, and as I was holding it it started to try and chomp my finger. It thankfully didn't break skin and I never got rabies, but sheesh... seeing this video really made me realize how bad it would have been if I did.... (Only scary because bats are a more common carrier of rabies)

At least in the US, it’s recommended to get the rabies vaccine whether you think it broke skin or not. Better safe than sorry. Many doctors will even want you to get vaccinated if you notice a bat in your house, because it might have bit you in your sleep and the bites are basically invisible. If you don’t get the vaccine in the first week or so, you’re basically gonna die one of the most excruciating deaths.

Ok, but was the bat soft and fuzzy?

This is why parents should pay attention when their kids muse about things. Similar story here. "I bet I could jump across that river!" "Sure ya could, kid. Haha." "Oh *beep*" I did make it across, by the way. Jumped across some stones and a wet soggy log - about 30-40 feet wide, 6 or 8 feet deep. I was an adventurous 6 year old.

I'm sorry I know this is a serious story, and I'm glad nothing bad happened, but the word "chomp" immediately made the bat sound adorable

That's scary, I did have some encounter with a bat once too, scary part was that it was flying around my bed and me thinking it was a moth

Rabies is called "rage" in French. By the way, that guy who found the vaccine against rabies was a Frenchman, Louis Pasteur.

Oh, that' neat. It's called ''ცოფი'' in Georgian, which means wrath, so, close enough.

What's interesting is there's a village of natives in the Amazon, and they all carry rabies antibodies. They're trying to figure out why they seemingly are naturally resistant to it. It's speculated that a ancestor developed rabies but it was more mild at the time and lived and she passed on the naturally immunity to her child and that child got bitten and lived and eventually everyone had developed a natural immunity to it

They may also have the gene mutation that makes them immune to kuru as well, I know one of the amazon tribes has it

Possums are also naturally super resistant and we're not sure entirely why.

@@skylerthompson8652 Apparently it’s because compared to the other mammals rabies prefers, they have a much lower body temperature making them a less ideal host to replicate or survive in.

Supposedly they are getting subclinically infected with small amounts from bats and they developed immunity to this. Resistance or survival from rabies is known from many other parts of the world. You could survive it too, but the risk is too high and so we never skip the vaccine.
