If you’re worried you have rabies, ask yourself: “Am I afraid of water right now?” If the answer is no, you’re fine. Go get a glass of water and laugh at yourself.
If the answer is yes, go to the ER immediately. But also, you probably wouldn’t be reading this—you’d be too busy trying to swat away air currents.
In short: rabies is a fascinating, terrifying, and extremely unlikely thing to have. The odds are astronomically low. So chill out. And maybe stop Googling symptoms at 2 AM.
You’re welcome. Now go wash your hands and pet a friendly dog. You’ll be fine.
