Is rabies fatal

Answer 1

There has never been a documented case of any animal surviving rabies. If a human gets bitten by an animal with rabies they have 48 hours to get to a hospital to be treated, otherwise the human will not live either. Rabies symptoms can take 2-10 days to show and up to 14 days to infect the brain.

Yes, and actually rabies infection is almost 100% fatal. Rabies typically doesn't cause death in the United States because there is a strong public health infrastructure that identifies potential rabies exposures and treats people to prevent the infection. However, in other countries that don't have as strong a public health infrastructure, rabies is a rather common cause of death among those who are exposed to stray or wild dogs and other mammals.
