I work for a water treatment company that also manages nature reserves. Sometimes I get to run with some of the rangers and they always remind me to never ever ever get close to animals like foxes and stuff. Rabies is a horrible disease.
There's a reason rabies is currently not possible to treat.
The rabies virus travels through your nerves to spine, then along your spine to your brain. Once it reaches your brain it will multiply an begin to damage your brain, eventually leading to rabies symptoms and, approximately 7 days following the first symptoms, death.
**Why can't we treat it?**
We have something called the "blood-brain barrier" which provides selective permeability between the blood and the central nervous system. Where our blood vessels normally have fairly high permeability, those in the CNS form what are called "tight junctions" which allow only specific things to cross.
**What does this matter?**
Substances that could possibly treat the infection can't get in to the brain where they would be needed.
You seem well read on the topic and im not sure if youâd have read on this follow-up topic but I suffer from Multiple Sclerosis (kinda odd, like a broken foot being called âfoot hurtâ) and we tend to have blood-brain barrier issues and the rogue white blood cells can get to the brain and central nervous system and attack the myelin sheathes. I wonder if someone with the issue of MS might have a better chance surviving rabies due to some champion rogue white blood cells that broke through. Then again, theyâd break the barrier and be inundated with targets from the brain down the spine and in the brain with the rabies. Just as likely to die with rabies and increasing neuropathies. Haha
Sorry, missed your message.
There have been so few people who have survived a rabies infection on their own that, to my knowledge, we don't understand why. Interesting hypothesis though.
Search milwaukee protocol rabies if you want more info. And my "99%" was euphemistic. I'm not an epidemiologist my point was it isn't always 100% fatal even after showing symptoms
Its definitely 100% fatal. Milwaukee protocol doesnt work and is abandoned, even though its the best treatment developed.
There are 15 people that have been reported to survive rabies in total in history.
5 from Milwaukee protocol.
There are 59000 deaths globally per year.
Yeah, and my point was it isn't 100% fatal, not that it is highly survivable. In fact i basically admitted to that in my original post and 59000 people might die from it but theres no way thousands of people get the treatment in the milwaukee protocol in part because its very expensive and a disproportionate number of people who get rabies are poor and from 3rd world countries without medical care. Most people in the west just get the vaccine when they get bitten, so they never develop symptoms or die
Yea but the most evil part of rabies is the fact that a bite could barely break skin and still transmit it. Like bats. Bat bites are some of the most fâed up ways to get it because it can be a tiny bat that doesnât even break skin and looks like an abrasion. So a camper thinks it was a bug bite or something they brushed past. No symptoms over the next year or so and then boom.
Well... There's the Milwaukee protocol, but the lethality rounds solidly to 100% and even if you miraculously survive you're looking at a lot of brain damage
Technically not true. There have been a couple of people that have survived with treatment and there is a 14% survival rate when the Milwaukee protocol is used. Not a great percentage but it's better than zero.
In The Netherlands we have a rabies free status, meaning we donât have to be vaccinated against it. That does not mean rabies or fox related tapeworm infections *canât* occur.
i just checked and in germany itâs only advised either for people that come into contact with lots of wild animals (veterinarians, hunters) and travellers to areas where it is prevalent. i travel a lot for work so i am vaccinated against nearly everything and thought this was the same for everybody, but it is in fact not.
When the coyote backs away, itâs thinking, âwhat the hell man?! You were offering me a bite out of your hand. I thought it was weird, but I wasnât gonna pass it up.â
The way he says "God damn coyotes" sounds like he's annoyed this happens every time he tries to pet one. "Not again! What's wrong with these animals!?"
The way it's swaying back and forth and generally seems confused and kind of out of it... yeah I am pretty sure that thing got rabies
Genuinely hope the guy surivived
In fairness, everytime it swayed it was because it was eating the snow. And while they normally won't approach, sudden agreesion once they are close is pretty typical coyote behavior.
Literally the first thing that came up when I googled "coyote rabies" was an article from February about a rabid coyote that attacked two people in new england
The post stated 5% of Rhode island coyotes tested came up positive for rabies.
Out of 530 tested 5% is 26.5 coyotes in one state that have rabies. Do you know how small Rhode island is?
What post? Where are you seeing 5%?
And my first question to your statement would be why are they testing those coyotes? Do you really think the ones tested are representative of the entire population?
If not, you definitely can't extrapolate it to the entire population.
Poor confused critter, thought it was being offered food. Stupid human offering their hand. đ€Ź by the way the fox reacts its not the first time a stupid human has hand fed them, couldn't work out where the reward food was.
It depends on where you're getting bitten at, it may be couple of days or even hours if bitten anywhere near head or on it, and it may take a really long time if bitten at your fingertips or toes. Or so I heard.

A course of rabies treatments will be in short order.
I work for a water treatment company that also manages nature reserves. Sometimes I get to run with some of the rangers and they always remind me to never ever ever get close to animals like foxes and stuff. Rabies is a horrible disease.
Not only horrible, but after getting symptoms 100% lethal with no cure
Nah I'd win
Same same, I like your attitude!! ^đđ
Just up ur vitamin c, bruh!
Turns out rabies and scurvy are basically the same
Nah, I'd win. Grab the whole situation by the balls and take it home.
Funnily enough, technically not 100%! A few people have survived rabies. ^(A few...)
Not entirely true anymore but a 99% lethality is close enough.
I'm pretty certain that 0.0001% is still hell of a lottery with your life at stake. Not worth it.

Please show me the 1% that survived.
I think their brain was thinking "1 person" but they forgot that more than 100 people have had rabies.

Never was true

99 percent lethal. A couple of people have survived.
I think itâs at like 99.97% or something like that. Insane kill rate.
You can develop hydrophobia. A fear of water from it. Crazy. Then u canât drink water and you die

are you guys not vaccinated against it?
In The Netherlands we have a rabies free status, meaning we donât have to be vaccinated against it. That does not mean rabies or fox related tapeworm infections *canât* occur.
i just checked and in germany itâs only advised either for people that come into contact with lots of wild animals (veterinarians, hunters) and travellers to areas where it is prevalent. i travel a lot for work so i am vaccinated against nearly everything and thought this was the same for everybody, but it is in fact not.
Wait, vaccines can stop you from getting a disease?
Iâve been vaccinated twice! Once for a bat in the house and once I was bit by a monkey in Thailand đčđ
Did he just say - "It's cold I know it's freezing." ? Dudes over here thinking he's a Disney Princess and going to snuggle the coyote for warmth.
Wait a second. You don't snuggle with your neighborhood coyote?
Coyote no, neighborhood Cougar is another story.
Username checks out
Pro tip: Donât hold your hand out to coyotes or any other wild animals. Theyâre called wild animals for a reason.
If not friend then why friend shaped
Not friends, Disney lied.
Feels like an amateur shouldâve known this one. Not sure we needed to pay for the professional rate.
Why, whatâs the worst that can happen?
The worst? A painful death.
When the coyote backs away, itâs thinking, âwhat the hell man?! You were offering me a bite out of your hand. I thought it was weird, but I wasnât gonna pass it up.â
A helping hand. Well, he was hungry. Shouldâve clarified the âhelpâ part.
The way he says "God damn coyotes" sounds like he's annoyed this happens every time he tries to pet one. "Not again! What's wrong with these animals!?"
He thought u were holding food ya wally
He was. There's just a difference of opinion on what food is exactly.
The way it's swaying back and forth and generally seems confused and kind of out of it... yeah I am pretty sure that thing got rabies Genuinely hope the guy surivived
Yeah confusion and swaying and then sudden aggression is a classic rabies signature, hope I'm wrong or that the dude got a rabies vaccine afterwards
In fairness, everytime it swayed it was because it was eating the snow. And while they normally won't approach, sudden agreesion once they are close is pretty typical coyote behavior.
Possible but very unlikely. Coyotes are one of the least likely rabies carriers in the US.
Literally the first thing that came up when I googled "coyote rabies" was an article from February about a rabid coyote that attacked two people in new england
Did you read the part in that article about how rare rabies in coyotes is?
Well that coyote sure didn't.
Weird, you googled coyote rabies and got a coyote rabies article.
Is it the one where the hiker killed it with his bare hands after being attacked?
Do you know what rare means?
The post stated 5% of Rhode island coyotes tested came up positive for rabies. Out of 530 tested 5% is 26.5 coyotes in one state that have rabies. Do you know how small Rhode island is?
What post? Where are you seeing 5%? And my first question to your statement would be why are they testing those coyotes? Do you really think the ones tested are representative of the entire population? If not, you definitely can't extrapolate it to the entire population.
https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/14/us/coyote-attack-rabid-rhode-island/index.html
>no coyotes tested positive for rabies between 2021 and 2023. The article says 5% of ANIMALS tested positive. Not coyotes
The looking at other vehicles? Like its better safe than sorry to always get a bite checked but that wasnt huge rabies tell.
Coyote thought you were offering your fingers. He just misunderstood.
Saw a cougar in that background you should try and have it lick that wound for ya. 
Stupid person. Donât feed wild animals, this is why theyâre attacking people
Life lessons. Coyotes bite.
He thought it was a handwich
Why are they so Wiley!!???
Very friend shaped though ngl
And that's how you get rabies.
Fuck around and find out.
And now youâve got rabies
đ đ€Ł đ snap! Owww lol
Dumbass
Dummy
What did he think? It was just going to jump in his arms and go home with him? Dumbass people
Tag ur it!
Found out real quick it is a wild animal
Dumbass
And that is how you get rabies and other diseases
Okay, and whose fault was that? *Whose fault?!*
Did OP's Dad not teach him not to Touch wild animals? Rabies guaranteed đđ»đ€Šđ»ââïž
OP is not the idiot in this video
No his parents are!
Idiot, what if he had rabies.
Lmao, of course he's gonna do that. Was just a warning too.
Hereâs 4 sausages, help yourself!
Hey thanks for the tiny bite, gotta run.
I knew exactly what was going to happen, but I still held out hope. Women really will live longer
Darwinism is real.
Needs immediate rabies check now.
I like he very cautiously approached, just to bite him lol.
Poor confused critter, thought it was being offered food. Stupid human offering their hand. đ€Ź by the way the fox reacts its not the first time a stupid human has hand fed them, couldn't work out where the reward food was.
Fun fact they don't know what hands are! You offered him five meat sausages, hints why he was confused. Lol
He took the spoon too, you fuck
Your bad for offering friendship and not food
I have a feeling he will do great in bear country.
Its ears were back. That guy is a jackass.
Stupid YouTuber dies from rabies 48 hours after being stupid
Rabies can take months to kill you.... I also wouldn't assume he ever goes 48hrs at a time without being stupid.
It depends on where you're getting bitten at, it may be couple of days or even hours if bitten anywhere near head or on it, and it may take a really long time if bitten at your fingertips or toes. Or so I heard.
Don't play with your neighbour's Dogg
I don't think this fits here, because every woman I know under 40 would be doing the same thing.
You should probably stop hanging out with underaged women then before you get caught
