Rabies is typically not spread human-to-human, although if an infected human were to bite another human, it could happen. The much more common pathway for humans to get infected with rabies is to be bit by another mammal that is infected with rabies. In the United States, bats, raccoons and skunks are the most commonly identified mammal carriers; in places with variable dog control, feral dogs are commonly infected with rabies and tend to pass that infection on to humans.

It can be spread by an animal such as a dog.When you or somebody gets bitten yours or their blood turns black and it goes to waste, your body can not hold in all those germs so it tries to get rid of it by spitting it out as foam.Also if you dont seek medical attention immediately you can die instantly unless you bite someone in the neck or get the 6 shots in your stomach

Most of the cases come from dog bites. Most cases come from India, where stray dogs are free on the road.
