This always puzzled me. Why don’t humans act much more aggressive or crazed like its often depicted with animals. Afaik there’s 2 types of rabies, “dumb” and “furious” so my question is more towards the 2nd type. For example, we never hear of rabies causing a human to accidentally bite another human so why is that?
Uh, that’s from their fleas, not bites. FFS, did no one else get through high school history? Or has education fallen this far off?
You can get Hantavirus from their dried urine, saliva, and feces though
That’s kind of a “no duh” statement. Everybody knows fleas transmit it. The point is that it’s still around.
For American’s, isn’t it more of a SW desert thing? Hantavirus and such?
LOL, and a post below here is acting like, “Sorry, can’t be bothered to remember.” The various plagues were kinda important in history, don’t think many teachers are skipping over that bit.
I was actually thinking of Oregon. When I lived there a few years back, there were a couple of cases of people who came down with plague after handling wild mice (because of the fleas, obviously, but that should be able to go without saying).
Hantivirus, to my knowledge, can happen anywhere but is more prevalent in the American west, including southwest.
I thought it was the beams from the eyes of sick people that spread it?

Oh no, we’re all just more concerned about affording to survive, and can’t be bothered to remember a detail about a disease from hundreds of years ago that is no longer a threat whatsoever.
