Has anyone ever had rabies?

Yes, but if they are given the proper shots before the virus reaches the brain it can be prevented. There has been one case of a girl surviving rabies she was put in a coma and treated with shots. But generally, once the virus reaches the brain, its is almost always fatal. It is rare that any human dies of rabies in the US as the vaccine to catch it before symptoms start is readily available, however in 3rd world countries such as africa it kills as many as 40,000 people a year.  The virus may remain dormant for over a year or symptoms may start in as few as 3 days.

Yes I have...first time I was a teenager, it was a man, seemed very evil, found out later he died in the bed I slept in...second time in my 20's, I was sleeping and my blanket fell on the floor, I grabbed it and covered back up, then the blanket was ripped off the bed, I looked over and there was a small blonde haired, blue eyed boy, looked about 4 years old, standing next to my bed, I scrambled out of bed and ran out...third time, my husband and I bought this old house, over 100 years old, we lived here about 2 weeks, one day the bathroom door opened and there was a naked old man drying off like he just got done taking a shower, then he disappeared, then wierd things happened, the water kept turning on in the kitchen, doors kept opening, things moved to different places, my husband saw him walking down the steps and then disappeared, my daughter said he came in her room and sat on her bed, I have seen him three more times...then all of a sudden everything stopped, haven't seen him in almost a year.

I once walked through a very old graveyard with a friend and our 2dogs..the dogs stopped at one grave and they both stood there growling with their hair stood up on their backs.\nWe didn't hang about to find out what exactly they had seen,we ran and left the dogs to follow.

Yes, as a matter of fact I have.I was 17 years old at the time and the experience still give me nightmares.However psyhciatric wards are not as bad as they are often made out. The staff was really friendly and helpful and held on to  hope for me when I couldn't myself. They saved my life and I am eternally grateful to them. THe nightmares are of the seclusion room...but I won't go into that.

Rabies is one disease in a class of viruses known as the 'Rabies-like' viruses. Others in the class include the Lagos bat virus, and the EBV-1 virus (the only remaining type of rabies present in the wild in the UK. Not all of the viruses are capable of infecting humans. The exact type of rabies contracted does not normally dictate the symptoms. The majority of human sufferers will get the classic symptoms of hydrophobia, extreme agitation and violence. However, most cases are diagnosed before they reach this point, and anyone infected will basically be tied to a bed from the onset of the major symptoms until they die. This is to prevent them from attacking others, or, more likely, self-mutilating. There have been a few instances of the virus being spread by one human biting another. \n\nAround 20% of human victims will suffer paralysis as a result of the infection; the remaining 80% will have 'furious rabies.'

A spider damn near killed me. I was nineteen, and had gone from being super-fit, to contracting rheumatic fever that made me seriously ill, not too far from pegging out.  About two weeks after, still house-bound, I managed to stagger down the stairs to the bathroom, feeling very ill, with a slow, weak pulse and very low blood-pressure.  I wanted to use the toilet, but first wanted to splash my face and rinse my mouth.  I leant over the basin, and WAAAAH! LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT THING! My heart rate jumped to about 200beats a minute, instantly, I staggered, felt a terrible chest pain, and fell over backwards, hitting my head on the wall. Nice.\n  Another time, in Australia, getting some tables out of a friends garage, my eyes were struggling in the gloom with what appeared to be eight-fingered Workman's gloves, slowly moving on the floor... HOLY CRAP THEY'RE ALIVE!!! I was out of there instantly.  They were Huntsman spiders, known for descending onto birds' nests in trees, and eating young chicks! Vile, leathery-bodied freaks that actually drag their centres around, they seem too big and heavy to actually walk on their legs.\nYuck!

THIS week- My son and I were in the yard digging up worms to go fishing. I slammed the shovel into the pile of soft dirt we have just for this kind of thing and out fell a baby mole who's head was busted from the shovel. It's brains spilled out onto the ground and it was still moving. \nTHE MOLE ALONE WAS GROSS...YUCKY!!!\nThen, two days ago I was on the front porch and this aweful noise came from the highway. We live 1/4 mile off the road so by the time I got out there a deer was in the ditch. It had been hit and it was sliced open on the side. She was still breathing and you could see her baby's hoof coming out of her side. \n\nYUCK YUCK YUCK!...AND SAD...

If it is bad, go to the hospital.  The dog should probably be quarantined for rabies.  Consult the hospital or a doctor for real medical advice, but that is what happened when I was attacked by someone's "domestic" wolf.
