This girl received a bat bite, thought nothing of it, then contracted rabies!. Just so we're clear: RABIES IS FATAL!. This girl is the only person in the history of the world to survive rabies, and only by inducement of a coma!. After rabies had done it's job, it took her 2 years to learn how to talk again, and 3 years to learn how to walk!. She will never be the same person!.

A few more scary facts:
"The period between infection and the first flu-like symptoms is normally two to twelve weeks, but can be as long as two years!. Soon after, the symptoms expand to slight or partial paralysis, cerebral dysfunction, anxiety, insomnia, confusion, agitation, abnormal behavior, paranoia, terror, hallucinations, progressing to delirium!.[citation needed] 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", where the victim has difficulty swallowing because the throat and jaw become slowly paralyzed, shows panic when presented with liquids to drink, and cannot quench his or her thirst!. The disease itself was also once commonly known as hydrophobia, from this characteristic symptom!. The patient "foams at the mouth" because they cannot swallow their own saliva for days and it gathers in the mouth until it overflows!."

Treatment you will have to undergo:
"Treatment after exposure, known as post-exposure prophylaxis or "P!.E!.P!.", is highly successful in preventing the disease if administered promptly, within six days after infection!. Thoroughly washing the wound as soon as possible with soap and water for approximately five minutes is very effective at reducing the number of viral particles!. "If available, a virucidal antiseptic such as povidone-iodine, iodine tincture, aqueous iodine solution or alcohol (ethanol) should be applied after washing!."[9] Exposed mucous membranes such as eyes, nose or mouth should be flushed well with water!. In the United States, patients receive one dose of immunoglobulin and five doses of rabies vaccine over a twenty-eight day period!. One-half the dose of immunoglobulin is injected in the region of the bite, if possible, with the remainder injected intramuscularly away from the bite!. This is much less painful compared with administering immunoglobulin through the abdominal wall with a large needle, as was done in the past!. The first dose of rabies vaccine is given as soon as possible after exposure, with additional doses on days three, seven, fourteen, and twenty-eight after the first!. Patients that have previously received pre-exposure vaccination do not receive the immunoglobulin, only the post-exposure vaccinations!. Since the widespread vaccination of domestic dogs and cats and the development of effective human vaccines and immunoglobulin treatments, the number of recorded deaths in the U!.S!. from rabies has dropped from one hundred or more annually in the early twentieth century, to 1
