Calif. girl survives rabies without treatment

[@ihswap]

Some people don't grasp how absolutely crazy this is. She's 1 of the only 29 rabies survivors ever recorded in the entire world. Rabies is a death sentence 99.999% guaranteed. Considering how absolutely rare it is to get infected in the US. This makes her one of the Unluckiest and luckiest people in the world.

[@ValCronin]

yes. I dont know where 95% came from....thats probably from people who get treatment instantly, which this girl did not. Her chances were more like .0001% considering her situation.

[@moji3812]

Yeah

[@CritterHouseUSA]

We need to do DNA tests on these survivors to see if they have something that helps them fight it. I watched a video a few months ago about a city where most people survived the plague in the 1600s and they found out that they have a certain gene that protects them.

[@solandri69]

@MythMethuselah Survival rate is high if you get treatment before symptoms develop. But once symptoms appear (anywhere from weeks to a year after exposure), it's virtually 100% fatal. The girl in this video underwent the Milwaukee protocol (force the patient into a coma and hope their immune system can fight off the virus). But it has only had a 14% success rate. Which granted is better than 0%, but not really something you want to bet your life on. If any animal known to carry rabies (pretty much any mammal) bites or scratches you, report it immediately to a doctor.

[@rydellgarcia]

@@ValCronin that's why the doctor said more than 95% higher. duh

[@dannonyogurt98]

Where did it say that the grandmother is raising her? You really just made an assumption and literally called it a fact.

[@ShadyPaperclips]

She literally won the lottery, but instead of money she got something way more valuable. A chance to continue living

[@yhfhdcf]

she literally got that other 0.01% chance of living instead of 99.99% chance of death.

[@danavarrone]

She's not as lucky as someone who doesn't contract rabies at all though. With around 1-3 rabies cases reported a year in the US, I wouldn't say she "won the lottery" by being one of them. That's very unlucky.

[@marilyndee969]

The problem with rabies is that once symptoms develop, it goes too quickly for us to fight it off. They put her in a coma. I have read that the coma buys time for a patient to fight off the disease. That is what happened to this little girl. At least they did that, even not knowing what was wrong with her. It saved her life.

[@muppinsjoker2059]

Coma is the right decision bec she wouldve died so better take the risk and glad they did

[@marilyndee969]

@@muppinsjoker2059 - Absolutely. The coma is what saved her. We can fight off rabies, but it takes time to develop antibodies to destroy it. Her body was able to do this. There is a current video on KZbin that shows her as an adult now with a child. A happy ending indeed!

[@oussamael2873]

​@@marilyndee969please i want someone to help me im patient of rabies and i survived 2 years with rabies using olanzapine drog and i know that i will dies because this drog becomes weak, in morocco we dont have this treatment please help with anything please

[@blacknoir2404]

yeah so much for "without treatment"

[@con5577]

Treatment is basically just hoping she survives. The so called "Milwaukee Protocol" is inducing patients into a coma. With the theory that the brain damage stems from neurotransmitters going wild, so if there's less brain activity, there's less damage done to the brain over time, with the hope that the body eventually fights it off. This "protocol" has been tried out, and practically been abandoned by now, as it hasn't shown any use (except in one instance -> but it might have been a less dangerous variant -> might have been the same for this poor/lucky kid). So you could say she hasn't had any "direct" treatment, as we don't really have any... Hopefully one day

You'd think if she is really lucky, she won't encounter a rabid bat in the first place.
