There is never a solid answer to questions like this one. Sorry....
There is no cure for rabies once you start showing the symptoms. If you get rabies shots before you show symptoms but very soon after you get bit they can stop the rabies.
There are 6 known cases of people surviving symtomatic rabies.
Everbody who has had rabies has died, except for one person. The virus takes over the brain and re-wires it, so that your signals to the body are messed up. It can make you throth from the mouth, and have moments of insanity, and have a fear of water. The 15-year-old girl who survived in 2005 was extremely lucky, but had to be put in a heavy como for ten fays, so that the brain was shutdown so that the virus couldn't have any effect until she woke up again, which by that time she had antibodies to fight the virus.
There are only 6 known cases of infected people surviving rabies. There is no cure, but there is a vaccine.
According to the World Health Organization, rabies causes nearly 60,000 deaths per year world wide. The incidence is higher in less developed countries.
If you mean animals with rabies they would be shot. I doubt they ran into many animals with rabies. I have read numerous diary entries written by people who were pioneers and not one mentioned animals with rabies. They wrote about dust, disease, death, birth, flooded wagons, the mountains and snow.
Very few of them get rabies. Otherwise they would have perished.
Rabies shots are given to help prevent the spread of rabies to animals. This has multiple benefits including the protection of the animal vaccinated from a deadly virus, the protection of other animals from exposure to rabies through the animal vaccinated and the protection of people from exposure to a rabid animal.
Rabies is transmitted by bite of rabid animals. Usually the carnivorous animals transmit the rabies. The virus is there in the saliva of the rabid animals.
over a million people get bit or are attacked wiith rabies
There is definite statistic for this but less than 5,000 people a year. According to the CDC website only one or two people die each year in the USA of rabies. It is usually because they were unaware they were exposed. Most animals in the US that carry rabies are wild. i.e racoons, foxes and bats. Domestic dogs and cats hardly ever have rabies.
Animals get rabies by being bitten by another animal that has rabies.
There are many animals that cannot carry the rabies virus, including birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates. Only mammals can carry the rabies virus; of these, the least likely to carry the rabies virus would be the marine mammals.
About 200,000 people die every few months from rabies.
Rabies virus is found in the saliva of an infected animal. A bite will transmit it. It is passed from one animal to another this way.
