Has anyone survived rabies without the 13 needles in the stomach?

Asked by RedDeerGuy1 (25104points) 2 days ago

I heard that it is 100% fatal without treatment.

Just wondering.

It’s a death sentence. Survival is exceedingly rare without prompt treatment.

@Jeruba In the 80’s the news kept saying that at the time 13 needles in the stomach was the only treatment for rabies.
