when I think of rabies I think?

Question

of people foaming at the mouth and being in fear of water, is that how it really happens or is that just in films. If Im sounding thick its because Im from UK and we don't have rabies here....yet.

Answer 1

Rabies is a disease that causes the brain to swell."The period between infection and the first flu-like symptoms is normally three to twelve weeks, but can be as long as two years. Soon after, the symptoms expand to cerebral dysfunction, anxiety, insomnia, confusion, agitation, abnormal behavior, hallucinations, progressing to delirium. The production of large quantities of saliva and tears coupled with an inability to speak or swallow are typical during the later stages of the disease; this can result in "hydrophobia". Death almost invariably results two to ten days after the first symptoms; the few humans who are known to have survived the disease were all left with severe brain damage, with the recent exception of Jeanna Giese."
