  1. Getting Cordiceps and Rabies to work together as one organism would be an incredible project for an evil, genocidal scientist. Throw in Ebola for infectability.

  2. A cure that only works if you get it before symptoms manifest, there are a lot of people who don't know about rabies and so would ignore a bite from a wild animal until months later when the site began to tingle and it was then to late to act.

  4. Your brain consumes about 20% of all your body's energy (Google it, it's just a sugar-burning monster), when you have a migraine one entire hemisphere of your brain is in overdrive with neurons firing in spreading waves as they try to 'reset' homeostasis. This is quite literally exhausting when you imagine that it can last for up to a whole day, your body can burn through a helluva lot of calories during the headache phase. Enough to run a marathon if the same energy was directed to your leg muscles.

  7. As mentioned in the video it has happened during transplants as the virus can lay dormant in someone for years, but I can't recall any human passing it on to another because when we get angry we rarely use our teeth. Though it's not impossible for someone to bite another person, or for a person to have a cut and get some of the victim's saliva into it.

  8. Pins & needles near an animal bite around two weeks after being bitten means your opportunity to get a rabies vaccination is now passed and you will be dead in a few days. Try to adjust quickly to your impending death.

  10. It has been put forward as a source for vampire mythology - fear of water, sensitivity to light, heightened aggression and (although rare in humans) a tendency to bite strangers. Also bats are the largest vector of the disease in Europe so they are associated with rabies today, but were associated with vampirism in the middle ages.

  11. The bit about the brain reacting to a foreign organ or no organ at all got me wondering about the first artificial heart patient, his brain must have spent the final years of his life thinking that the second most vital organ in the body was absent.
