In the case of human rabies, the virus can go without any symptoms for up to a year. The first sign is tingling around the bite area. As the condition progresses, there is frothing of the mouth, excessive thirst, neurological symptoms, much like in those of a dog, all of which are usually fatal.

Rabies in a person manifests in drooling, difficulty swallowing, severe thirst, and high fever. They will have hallucinations and muscle contractions later on. If you think someone is exposed to rabies or has it, get them to an ER immediately for treatment.
