Question: RABIES!!!!! how does it work!?
What kills you once infected by rabies!. Do you die from lack of water(hydrophobia is one of the main symptons), acute inflamation of the brain(another sympton), or something else!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Rabies causes a severe encephalitis (inflammation of the brain)!. Clinically, the disease manifests with nonspecific symptoms of body weakness, headache, and fever!. But these symptoms plus local paresthesia (abnormal skin sensations) around the wound points to rabies!.

In advanced cases, the person exhibits extraordinary central nervous system excitability; the slightest touch is painful, with violent motor responses progressing to convulsions!. Contracture of the pharyngeal muscles when swallowing produces foaming at the mouth!. The old term for the disease - hydrophobia - describes this phenomenon!.

As the disease progresses, there is irritation of the layers surrounding the brain, resulting to some form of paralysis!. Periods of alternating mania and stupor progress to coma and death from respiratory center failure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
