Rabies is still a very serious virus that is passed by infected fluids across different animals (including humans). Until recently there has been no known cure or treatment for rabies except for preventative measures. To prevent rabies one can get vaccinated as a precaution or after being bitten by an animal that is infected. Rabies virus has a high gestation period and symptoms do not show up immediately. There have been two known cases of actually curing rabies at this time. One was a 15 year old boy in Brazil and the other a 16 year old girl in Wisconsin. Both situations utilized the "Wisconsin protocol" which involves putting the patient into a medically induced coma. The coma protects the body from any harm the hallucinations from the virus can induce in the patients mind.
