that child did not deserve to suffer like he did. I would be very happy if George W Bush was in that condition.

@imkickurass That's not an explanation for WHY the disease would create fear of water.

[AtlantaITGirl]

@vulturedoors exactly- this is why i say rabies is the disease from hell itself

[NelichXCandii]

who gives a fuck if hes black, he has rabies!

[imkickurass]

@vulturedoors Cause the pain comes when the patient sees water

[vulturedoors]

@SoneaAmnell I've never been satisfied with that explanation. It may explain why drinking would be difficult, but why does it manifest as intense fear just at the sight of water? Especially since they become so dehydrated they must be desperately thirsty.

This is how much our politicians care about the world. They can always find money to bomb and kill others. If they spent 1/10th the amount on saving people from this most terrible disease, chances are rabies might well have been erradicated by now.

@KMcombine

I think the fear of water comes from the pain of swallowing that the disease causes. and because of the paranoia brought on by the disease the idea of water becomes malevolent and terrifying

the kid's not african. theyre speaking spanish. also, in human's i dont think aggression is really a symptom. I think its mostly just anxiety and paranoia
