    Trump has a recent campaign video with spit flying out of his mouth and foam all over his lip. I’ll actually be relieved if that turns out to be an edit because it’s so gross it made me shrink away from my phone…

        … if wikipedia is to be believed, once the symptoms show up it’s incurable and usually fatal.

          There’s only been a handful of survivors ever. Near total fatality rate

            As a bonus, there is a vaccine. The problem is that you lose the benefits so fast that they only give it to you after you’ve been bitten, during the narrow window between contamination and infection. Just the time it takes to get to the hospital can easily be long enough to put you into the untreatable phase.

              Depends on how severe a bite is and where it happens! Deep and high up? You need the vaccine quickly. Minor scratch on your hand? It can wait a week
