Exceedingly rare then.

Incubation period ? Two weeks ?

I just don't recall.

No. You were recounting a hallucination. Either that or you were hanging around with some very
disturbed people.

I presume that you are envious of the cat.

Gee C, if rabies is just a joke, what's killing animals with it. Or don't they die either?

Stupid, possibly deadly. I know you're too much of a loon to understand this. But, unlike most of
your hilarious ravings, this advice is truly dangerous.

That doesn't excuse your amazing irresponsibility in giving such dangerous "advice."

>I accurately recounted information from one of my orthopathic books.

Yes, but you didn't qualify it in any way.

>To the orthopath, rabies was a superstitous joke.

They had a weird sense of humor.

What nonsense. Untreated people die of rabies in many parts of the world.

Hardly, since deaths from rabies date to well before modern medicine came on the scene.

You choose to practice what might as well be witchcraft.

No, not if you have your affairs in order and don't mind dying.
