The disease that makes you deathly afraid of water

In the United States, rabies is mostly found in wild animals like bats, raccoons, skunks, and foxes. However, in many other countries dogs still carry rabies, and most rabies deaths in people around the world are caused by dog bites.

[@JacquelynRivera930]

People used to call rabies hydrophobia because it appears to cause a fear of water. The reason is that the infection causes intense spasms in the throat when a person tries to swallow. Even the thought of swallowing water can cause spasms, making it appear that the individual is afraid of water. Spasms of the muscles in the throat and larynx occur because rabies affects the area in the brain that controls swallowing, speaking, and breathing. Rabies is a vaccine-preventable, zoonotic, viral disease affecting the central nervous system. Once clinical symptoms appear, rabies is virtually 100% fatal. In up to 99% of cases, domestic dogs are responsible for rabies virus transmission to humans. Clinical rabies manifests mainly in two forms, encephalitic (furious - more common) and paralytic (dumb) rabies. However, death is a signature in both types due to a lack of anti-rabies drugs. There are only 29 reported cases of rabies survivors worldwide to date; the last case was reported in India in 2017 and of the 29 survivors, 23 of them were vaccinated with the rabies vaccine. Even if you aren’t experiencing any hydrophobia symptoms but you have recently (in the last three months) been bitten or scratched by a warm-blooded animal, such as a dog, a fox, a racoon or a bat, it is still recommended that you visit your nearest hospital or medical centre or your GP as soon as possible, even if the bite or scratch occurred in another country. This is because post-exposure treatment can be extremely effective and prevent rabies from progressing to the stage where hydrophobia develops. Rabies is diagnosed using a direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) test. The test detects antigens of the rabies virus in your brain tissue. By the time the rabies virus progresses enough to cause hydrophobia, it is almost always fatal, and treatment is likely to be ineffective. A person or animal who contracts furious rabies will likely die within six days of showing symptoms and within a few days of showing symptoms of hydrophobia. However, if the infection is treated quickly, ideally on the day of infection, the individual can have a good prognosis. Unfortunately, rabies has an incubation period of one to three months, meaning that by the time someone shows symptoms, the disease may have progressed too far, and treatment will be ineffective.

She was given medicine to induced sleep but she’s sleepless for days and would wail and complained that her body is very hot inside. It was a terrifying and pitiful sight knowing that her parents beside her can do nothing but cry and regret.

[@JacquelynRivera930]

Yes, it's awful. ​​⁠It takes one to three months to show symptoms. After being bit by a fox, bat, dog, car, jackal or raccoon, you should seek medical emergency immediately. The treatment for rabies depends on whether or not you've started to show any signs or symptoms of the virus. By the time the rabies virus has progressed to cause hydrophobia (painful and involuntary throat spasms that make it difficult to swallow water as seen above), it is almost always fatal and treatment is likely to be ineffective. A person or animal that contracts rabies will likely die within 6 days of showing symptoms and within a few days of showing symptoms of hydrophobia.

One of the symptoms is hydrophobia (even in todays point of view). Yes hydrophobia= fear of water, however it can also mean rejection or a repulsion of water. Think of the hydrophobic knifes the water doesn't stick to said knife it repells. In the case of Rabies the virus itself doesn't like water, hence why it causes extreme pain when you drink, which can lead to a fear of water in the patients due to negative stimulation. No I am not a doctor, but I worked as a vet tech and yes this was something discussed in my classes as well as my work. I never got the pre vaccination for rabies (it was actually one of my plans prior to my early retirement) but this scenario is something all staff avoids its also why vaccination IS so important and if one gets bit or has any type of bodily fluid transference should get shots. Sometimes it's just better safe then sorry :/ still it's horribly sad when a patient has to be rabies tested Especially if they don't have it.

Once you show symptoms it's too late. That's why you always get to hospital straight away if you get scratched or touched by an animal with possible rabies

[@supitseddie]

No, simply touching a rabid animal won't transmit rabies. The virus is primarily transmitted through the saliva of an infected animal, usually through a bite. However, if there's a possibility of exposure to rabies, such as being scratched by a rabid animal, it's still essential to seek medical advice to assess the risk and take necessary precautions.

[@SatanRomps]

​@@supitseddieyou are both correct. OP is specifically referring to bats. If you're touched by a bat go get rabies shots IMMEDIATELY. Bats have TEENY TINY teeth and you will NOT feel a bite. Most bats (over 50%) carry rabies, do not become sick from the infection BUT CAN pass it to other animals. You will not feel a bat bite. You might see it days later and go, "huh. That looks weird. Wonder what that was?" And now you've got rabies in a month. So with bats, yes, if you touch it, go get vaccinated. Still best to be careful and wash up well, drooling, foaming animals tend to fling saliva and humans rarely cover their eyes and mouth.....

- rabies does NOT cause you to be LITERALLY "deathly afraid" of water or liquid, like if you're afraid of ghosts or the boogey man. its not a literal fear! once you're infected and symptoms are showing, its an involuntary physiological reaction that the body (throat) has, that makes it physically impossible to swallow liquid or water. when you touch, see, bathe, or try to drink liquid, your throat automatically begins to spasm (in advanced stages, so does the entire body) similar to dry heaving, repetitively, making it impossible to swallow. hence why animals foam at the mouth, and dehydration is a massive part of the fatality factor of this disease. it also effects the functioning of the organs, as well as the brain (in later stages), giving the impression of aggression and being "crazy".

[@logitimate]

Eh, kinda. It's more that both are caused by a physical inability to swallow due to paralysis of muscles in the throat. The foaminess of the saliva is also indeed by dehydration - again, due to inability to swallow.

[@_Chessa_]

The throat seizes when liquid spit or water tries to go down and forces it back. It’s the feeling you get when gagging but 100% worse. The brain is screaming at this point. Anxiety and fear is 100 fold and you’ll continue down this path until you pass away. There’s only been 1 case of a female who got rabies didn’t get the shots in time and had it but survived and was a different person. She had to relearn how to walk, read, talk and eat. Her parents told everyone on camera she was a different person and it was not their daughter they raised. She is different by all means, but she survived the infection. 100% fatal if you do not catch it early for the most part.

[@JacquelynRivera930]

@@logitimateThe saliva has nothing to do with dehydration. Rabies affects parts of the brain that controls speaking, swallowing, and breathing. It alters the saliva production process and causes painful muscle spasms that discourage swallowing. The virus thrives in saliva. Swallowing reduces the spread. Therefore, it immediately acts to make its victim produce more saliva and spread that saliva on its surroundings rather than swallowing it.

That's horrible! Poor man 😢 I'm so thankful that we don't have rabies in Australia 🙏

[@JacquelynRivera930]

Australia does, however, have other similar viruses, which are found in bats. Australian bat lyssavirus (ABLV) is a virus endemic in Australian bats that causes an invariably fatal encephalitis (infection and inflammation of the brain) in bats, humans and other animals. The natural history of ABLV is similar to rabies. There are 2 closely related variants (types) of ABLV: 1. Pteropid-ABLV in flying foxes 2. YBST-ABLV in yellow-bellied sheathtail bats. Other, unrecognised, variants may also be present in other bat species. ABLV has been reported only in Australia and is considered to be present in all populations of Australian bats. It is likely that variants of ABLV also occur in bats in South East Asia. In May 2013, 2 horses were confirmed as being infected with ABLV on a property in South East Queensland. These were the first known cases of ABLV in an animal other than a bat. There have been 3 human cases of disease due to ABLV. All were fatal. ABLV is shed in the saliva. Like the rabies virus, it is presumed that ABLV is usually transmitted by bites or contamination of a fresh wound, scratch or mucous membranes with infected saliva. Infection in people is extremely rare. While there is no effective treatment once a person is clinically ill, prompt action following a bat bite or scratch may prevent clinical disease. Post-exposure rabies vaccinations and other treatments may be necessary if you have been bitten or scratched by a bat. No person who has received post-exposure prophylaxis (vaccinations) has developed clinical disease. Avoid contact with live bats (including flying foxes). If you come across a bat alone or an injured, sick or orphaned bat, do not touch it. Only rabies-vaccinated people should handle live bats.

Hey so I've seen your videos for a while and I knew you were pretty popular but just looking up in titkok and KZbin, so many people steal your videos and post them. And it's kinda sad that this happened to smaller youtubers and the people who stole the videos, got millions of more views. Which is so beyond effed up.

Got to be in the top 5 most terrifying diseases ever

[@thudor1]

In "Old Yeller", Rabies was called "hydrophobia (fear of water). Now we know why.

[@UnstoppableGiant]

It’s so weird that stuff like this can exist at all. Like, seriously, how does something like that happen? What’s it’s purpose???

[@redbleed5640]

Same

[@logitimate]

Rabies paralyzes the muscles in the throat, so you can't swallow. If you try to drink water, you start to drown. The panic reaction at the mere _sight_ of water that sometimes occurs in both humans and lower animals is a result of this combined with (a) the fact that two of the most powerful instincts in virtually all labs mammals are to drink when dehydrated and to avoid drowning and (b) the fact that rabies is an inflammatory infection of the brain (encephalitis), meaning that a rabid animal (past a pretty early stage) is deeply confused and disoriented. So its instincts are simultaneously screaming that it must drink to avoid dying of thirst and that it must _not_ drink to avoid drowning, in a situation where it has no ability to react rationally to even uncomplicated stimuli, let alone such intense, contradictory, and fear-backed impulses.

[@logitimate]

Alternatively, if you mean "what function does it serve for _the virus_ ," then the most likely answer is that rabies is primarily (although not exclusively) transmitted by virus-laden saliva in bite wounds, so keeping a rabid animal's mouth full of plenty of saliva by preventing it from swallowing increases transmission.

[@zamboslambo5243]

I'm inclined to believe that it's purpose or "instinct" if you will is to spread (aka reproduce) as much as possible. Plants, bugs, and animals seem to have this as their main purpose and one could even argue that the same is true for humans. An example could be trees spreading seeds around, it's the same concept but seeds are replaced with spit/foam and the tree is rabies infecting the salivary glands.

[@UnstoppableGiant]

[@andrewhenry7639]

Bro literally just saw a video by another doctor (posted 2 months before this video) that had the exact same script, background video, wording, etc.

[@JacquelynRivera930]

Yeah, it's called, she most likely has different followers so she's "spreading the word". DURRR. 🥴 On top of that, she's a doctor not a "bro" nor is she "your bro". You sound like a child. Why don't you grow the f-ck up and stop calling people that?! That word is corny as f-ck used by your dumba$$ generation. 🙄

[@maryannyanez1993]

They aren’t afraid of the water. It’s because just bringing water to the mouth or putting it in the mouth causes horrendously painful throat spasms.

[@kylieshaye6562]

Can anyone explain why they can't swallow, or are afraid of it? That's such a unique symptom that I've never heard of anywhere else. I'm thinking it happens so the victim is constantly drooling and rabies spreads through saliva.

[@Scotty-vs4lf]

all i can say is everything evolves the way it does for a reason, so for whatever reason being afraid of water (hydrophobia) works best for rabies to survive

[@bransonwalter5588]

Rabies spreads through saliva. Drinking water would limit the spread.

[@lolafairchild88]

It's because the diseases causes throat spasms and makes it nearly impossible to swallow.

[@binsoisacademy9832]

Some victims of rabies are also afraid of lights and some of air. I have witnessed these when I was working in the hospital. The reason why all our cats and dogs are complete with all their shots. Also, careful with rats. They're main sources of the virus. In the case of the man in this video, it looks like his from India and India has plenty of rats around!

Saline IV?

[@youlovepaige216]

I was wondering the same thing

[@nigelft]

That only prevents dehydration ... it doesn't do anything more, as, once the major symptoms appear, they're then in the active stages of dying. All you can do, from a clinical standpoint, is to provide a combination of sedation, and pain relief, so their inevitable death is not one of excruciating agony ...

No because rabies avoids the immune system and has the ability to hide from antiviral drugs, even using the blood brain barrier to protect itself once it enters the brain.

Rabies Is the reason why I'm Afraid Of Cats Coming From a random way

The "fear" is extremely painful esophagus spasms. They are not afraid. Seeing food and water makes them desperate to eat and drink, but the disease will not allow it.

[@rinarinata9066]

[@charlescraft5582]

The foaming is actually one of the end stages of the disease. Rabies proliferates and is found primarily in the saliva of the infected. The foaming is an extreme increase in the amount of the virus which is used as a last ditch effort to infect anyone before the host dies. But yes, the hydrophobia and throat spasms are real as well.
