disease that has already infected them (Theodorides 1998). This is strikingly similar to what can
occur when rabies has been transmitted to a person. Disease symptoms include: cerebral
dysfunction, anxiety, insomnia (nighttime activity), confusion,
agitation, paranoia and a terror progressing to delirium. Large
quantities of saliva (associated with feeding) and tears are
produced, and difficulty swallowing stemming from throat and
jaw paralysis causes panic when the person or animal cannot
drink or quench his or her thirst. Who hasn’t heard of rabid
animals indiscriminately attacking and biting someone?
