Main Points & Discussions

1. Personal Fears and Early Experiences with Rabies

• Hosts’ Paranoia: The episode kicks off with hosts sharing personal anxieties and familial warnings about rabies, especially from travels in places like India and Central America.
  • “My grandmother would always be like, do not go near those dogs on the street because if they bite you, you will basically turn into a dog.”
    — B (01:38)
• The Weight of Preventive Measures: Cost and stress of vaccination are touched on, with skepticism about limited efficacy—countered by a reminder of just how deadly rabies is.
  • “If modern medicine can only get you 24 hours leeway, think how horrific the disease must be.”
    — C (02:27)

2. Rabies: The Ultimate Horror Virus

• Symptoms & Myths: Rabies’ symptoms inspire zombie legends—hydrophobia (fear of water), delirium, aggression, and biting. About 60,000 deaths per year, mostly in the developing world, are cited.
  • “A deadly virus that causes hydrophobia, frothing at the mouth and delirious aggression… sounds more like the plot of a blockbuster film than real life.”
    — C (02:58)
• Cognitive Awareness in Victims: The horror is compounded by victims oscillating between lucidity and aggression.
  • “The fact that they are lucid at any point during that is just… makes the whole thing even worse.”
    — B (04:02)

3. History and Science of Rabies

• Ancient Roots: First written mention in 1930 BCE (modern-day Iraq); rabies has fueled human horror for millennia (06:53–07:18).
• Viral Sneakiness: The virus evades the immune system by staying in muscle cells, then travels to the central nervous system; classic zombie-movie parallels.
• Incubation Period: Usually 3 months, but in rare cases can be up to 19 years (!).
  • “Incubation periods of up to 19 years have been recorded.” — B (08:32)

4. The Case of Gina Giese: Medical Miracle

(Main narrative arc, 04:49–17:56)

• How It Happened: In 2004, 15-year-old Gina Giese gets bit by a bat while rescuing it (05:47). The wound is barely noticeable.
• Early Signs and Diagnosis Missed: Initial symptoms resemble flu, and standard blood tests fail to identify rabies because it hides from the immune system (10:28–11:23).
• Turning Point: After realizing Gina was bitten by a bat, doctors recognize the risk of rabies at a late stage (11:23).

The "Milwaukee Protocol": Experimental Treatment

• Dr. Rodney Willoughby’s Gamble: Refuses to accept certain death for Gina, devises a radical, untested plan inspired by a medical paper observation: rabies damages the brain less than expected.
  • “By his own admission, Willoughby refused to even read the advice given by doctors who'd followed the conventional methods. He figured that since their advice had led to the death of every single rabies patient ever, why bother?” — B (12:35)
• Inducing a Deep Coma: Gina is placed in an unprecedented deep coma, the logic being to buy her immune system time to respond (14:17–14:40).
  • “The risks were incredibly high. But as Saruti said, the other option is 100% death.” — C (14:47)
• Gina’s Recovery: After a week, her body begins to fight the virus. Awakening is slow, but she ultimately regains speech and mobility, now thriving with her own family (15:47–16:51).
  • Quote: “She now lives as the first person in recorded human history to recover from symptomatic rabies.” — C (16:51)

Lingering Medical Debate

• Why Is Rabies Survival Still Rare?
  • The “Milwaukee Protocol” doesn’t guarantee survival; likely factors include immune response variability and potentially a weak virus strain in Gina’s case (17:56).
  • Many victims worldwide can’t access such intensive and costly hospital care.

5. Prevention and Practical Advice

• Why We Can’t Eradicate Rabies: Rabies infects any animal with a backbone—not just mammals (19:19); birds can host but are asymptomatic. Most human cases: rabid dogs (Africa/Asia) or bats (North America).
• Vaccines Work—If You Act Quickly:
  • “If the antibodies are administered within the first 24 hours of infection, the odds actually are 100% [of survival].” — C (20:27)
  • Even pre-vaccinated people need post-exposure shots to ensure full protection.
• Concrete Takeaways:
  • “Get vaccinated. Get your dog vaccinated. Get your cat vaccinated. If you have a bat… I don’t know, do they do bat vaccines? Get your bat vaccinated and don't have a bat. That’s fucking weird.”
    — B (22:58)
  • US/UK listeners: Rabies is rare but stay vigilant; strange dog or bat bite? Get checked, even if odds seem low.

Community Immunities & Oddities

• Some communities (Peru) show unexplained rabies antibodies, hinting at potential natural immunity in rare populations (25:07).

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “Rabid for rabies. Fucking obsessed with rabies.” — B (01:29)
• “Just go get yourself checked out anyway. It's not going to do anyone any harm.” — B (24:29)
• “In short, get vaccinated or be Peruvian. And even if you are Peruvian, maybe just get vaccinated anyway.” — B (26:18)
• “I think it has now topped being burned alive as my least favorite way to die.” — C (26:21)
• “Tell your kids to tell you if they get bitten by anything. That's hard, though. Yeah, that's hard. Well, have fun. Bye.” — C & B (End, 27:09)

Tone and Language

The hosts maintain their signature mix of humor, curiosity, and dark fascination, using colloquial language (e.g., “fucking obsessed with rabies”). They show genuine awe and disgust at rabies’ impact, weaving in cautionary tales and relatable travel fears. At several points, they lighten the mood with pop culture references and self-deprecating jokes, keeping the episode engaging while delivering urgent public health advice.

---

Final Takeaways

• Rabies is essentially untreatable once symptoms start—prevention is your only real hope.
• Vaccination (for humans and pets) is easy, effective, and typically life-saving if administered before symptoms occur or immediately after exposure.
• If bitten—or possibly bitten—don’t “penny pinch” on emergency post-exposure treatment.
• Tell your kids: if you get bitten by anything, always inform an adult.

“Just get vaccinated. It's really, really fucking not worth it.” — B (23:46)

“Don’t have nightmares in your rabies coma.” — C (27:09)

[B]

Hello. Hello.

[C]

Welcome to Shorthand. Another disease.

[B]

I do just love diseases. And much like my Shark Fangirl episode, I wouldn't say I'm a fan of rabies, but I would say I'm rabid for rabies.

[C]

Rabid for rabies.

[B]

Rabid for rabies. Fucking obsessed with rabies.

[C]

It's very, very interesting.

[B]

It's because it's terrifying. It's because it's absolutely terrifying. And obviously, you know, I was born in India, spent a lot of time there, went back every summer and my grandmother would always be like this. Before I knew what rabies was, my grandmother would always be like, do not go near those dogs on the street because if they bite you, you will basically turn into a dog. You will start barking, you will start frothing at the mouth, you will go crazy and we'll have to put you down or we'll have to drag you to the doctor and have 26 injections around your navel.

[C]

Yep.

[B]

And I was just like, oh, grandma. And then I found out she wasn't fucking kidding.

[C]

No, she was not.

[B]

And then I was scared and obviously

[C]

have traveled a lot.

[B]

I wouldn't say I'm a hypochondriac at all, but scared of rabies.

[C]

Yeah. I think I've only ever had the jab once before. I moved to Costa Rica and it was really expensive and I didn't have any money at the time. And I remember complaining it was like 300 quid or something.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

And talking to my mum about it, I was like, you know, like, it just only. Even if you get the vaccination, it only gives you 24 hours. So, like, what's, what's the point? And Mum was like, hannah, if modern medicine can only get you 24 hours leeway, think how horrific the disease must be.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

So I did get it.

[B]

It's not worth fucking about. It's really not worth fucking about with that.

[C]

No. And Mabel had her rabies vaccination on Tuesday.

[B]

Wonderful. Yep, wonderful. So we're all here, rabid for rabies, but no one's rabid, so that is great news.

[C]

The concept of a deadly virus that causes hydrophobia, frothing at the mouth and delirious aggression in its hosts and is transmitted via biting sounds more like the plot of a blockbuster film than real life. And yet every year, almost 60,000 people die, strapped to a bed in the dark, unable to stand the sight of light or water.

[B]

That is so sad. I hate that so much.

[C]

I just find it so interesting that a disease can make you afraid of something.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. It's crazy.

[C]

There's that parasite that lives in mice that makes them not afraid of cats.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What? I know. And let's not think about it too much. Let's just keep going. I'm not equipped to deal with this.

[C]

No. And if you do happen to be one of those 60,000 people strapped to a bed, your mind will be oscillating between panic, understanding and then uncontrolled feral aggression. That is the fate of almost every person who has ever shown the symptoms of rabies.

[B]

And I also hate that they are oscillating, like you said, between some level of understanding, like knowing what is happening to them. Just the fact that they are lucid at any point during that is just makes the whole thing even worse.

[C]

And actually, despite hundreds of thousands of recorded cases in the past two decades alone, fewer than 100 unvaccinated people have ever successfully recovered from the rabies virus. The first person ever to survive symptomatic rabies was a 15 year old girl in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 2004.

[B]

2004.

[C]

I know what I know. And that girl's recovery was nothing short of a miracle. This is the shorthand.

[B]

So, in September 2004, Gina Geazi went to church with her parents, as they did every Sunday. During the service, however, something unusual happened. A bat flew into the church and began swooping over the congregation. It dived closer and closer to the heads of the watching crowd, getting increasingly aggressive and understandably, it caused a bit of a stir. Until one quick thinking churchgoer gave the bat a swift mid air wallop with their hat and sent it tumbling to the ground. Now 15 year old Gina, who'd been watching on, felt bad for the little creature. As an animal lover, she thought that the bat was probably scared and confused and just needed to be let outside. In reality, outside in the bright sunlight was the last place that the bat wanted to be. That's why it had avoided going out of any of the open windows in the church in the first place. But not knowing that, kind hearted Gina picked up the bat and walked outside.

[C]

I remember when I was whinging about having to get the rabies vaccine, talking to someone who'd spent time in Central America and I was like, well, what if I just don't go near any dogs? And they were like, it's not the dogs, it's the bats.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. No, no, no. And even like when we were walking around that bloody monkey extravaganza, oh my

[C]

fuck, I forgot about that.

[B]

I was just like, one of these fuckers scratches us. Rabies.

[C]

Dead, dead.

[B]

And I did not have a vaccine before we went to that.

[C]

No, my own will have run out.

[B]

Yeah, fuck.

[C]

But we made it.

[B]

We made it, hopefully. So yes, Gina takes the bat outside and just as she was about to put it down under the shade of a nearby tree, the bat bit her, clamping down so hard that Gina had to shake her hand to get it off. Still, the little bat left nothing more than a small pinprick on her left index finger, which Gina's mum washed when they got home. As you probably guessed, Gina had been infected with rabies, one of the oldest and deadliest viral diseases on the planet.

[C]

This is going to blow your tiny mind. The first recorded mention of rabies was written in what is now Iraq in 1930 BCE. Stop it. I hate it. So this written mention of rabies is actually a warning? Basically it says it warns owners of dogs displaying rabid symptoms to take preventative measures against dog bites and warns them that if their dog causes a person's death through rabies, the owner would be heavily fined, which seems fair. People have been taking rabies pretty seriously, at least for the last 4,000 years and probably much longer than that. And as you can already tell from the symptoms we mentioned at the top of the show, rabies has been the inspiration behind zombie esque myths and legends for about as long as humans have known about it. And the likenesses between rabies and classic Virus style zombie films don't just end with a bit of angry biting. The way rabies infects and enters a body is quite sci fi as well. Rabies enters the body of its host through the saliva of its last one. Once a bite has pierced the skin, the virus will quickly settle itself into the muscle tissue around the puncture wound and then live in the cells. Because the virus is inside the cells and not bobbing around in the bloodstream, it's essentially undetectable to the immune system. Sneaky, sneaky rabies.

[B]

So there in the host cells, it waits and incubates, growing stronger, slowly infecting more and more cells. This process of incubation can last for between a few days to around three months though, and this is important and terrifying to state. Incubation periods of up to 19 years have been recorded.

[C]

Maybe we didn't make out.

[B]

That's what I was going to say. I didn't want to spoil it when you said it, but I was like, I hope so because we still got time. Jesus got 18 years to go. But no, that is, to be fair, like extreme examples, and they are very rare, typically within three months, if you haven't sort of succumbed to becoming rabid, then you're probably okay. So once the virus has then duplicated enough virons, which are individual viral proteins, it then travels through the central nervous system towards the host's brain. At this point, an infected individual will begin to show the first signs of rabies and already at this point has around a 99% chance of death. As the virus travels towards the brain, the host may begin to feel a tingling sensation within the affected nerves. And once the virus hits the brain, all hell breaks loose. A variety of symptoms will begin to show almost immediately. These include delirium, aggression, insomnia, paranoia, a fear of light, and most notably, hydrophobia, the fear of water. For the virus, this fear of water serves the practical purpose of not allowing victims to swallow excess saliva. So if you go on to bite anyone, the chances of infection are higher.

[C]

Are you even scared of the water in your own mouth?

[B]

Yep.

[C]

And that terrible fate is what Gina was facing when a month after she was bitten, she began to feel a tingling sensation in her left arm. A few days later, she began to develop flu like symptoms and her mum took her to a local doctor for some blood tests. A few days later, while they waited for the test results to come back, Gina was competing in a volleyball competition and she began to see double. She was rushed back to the doctor, but they couldn't find anything in her blood tests that suggested any viral or bacterial infection. Because that's not where rabies lives. And it was then that Gina's mum offhandedly mentioned that her daughter had been bitten by a bat the month before. And Gina's mum remembers watching the family doctor's face go white as he suddenly realized that the 15 year old Gina had rabies.

[C]

Gina was rushed to the Children's Hospital of Milwaukee and put under the care of someone called Dr. Rodney Willoughby. Who's the MVP, I'm going to say.

[B]

Oh, yeah. So much time for Rodney. So by this point, Gina had been given just hours to live. Delirium and confusion were setting in, and it wouldn't be long before the aggressive biting and salivation started, given that no one in recorded history had ever recovered from symptomatic rabies. At that point before, the conventional wisdom was to just strap Gina to a bed in the dark and try and administer palliative care until nature took its course. So miserable, isn't it? She's 15 years old and all she did was try help a little bat. But Dr. Willoughby was not ready to give up on Gina just yet. He began poring over every article, every paper, and even every Internet post that suggested a potential cure for rabies. By his own admission, Willoughby refused to even read the advice given by doctors who'd followed the conventional methods. He figured that since their advice had led to the death of every single rabies patient ever, why bother? Eventually, after a few hours of frantic searching, Willoughby found a paper online that made an interesting point. And this is so fascinating. Basically, this paper said that despite the fact that the brain of a rabies patient was infected, it never appeared to be damaged by the virus, even after death. So the paper reasoned that the virus simply used the brain as a sort of base of operations from which to cause the symptoms that eventually kill the host. So from this single article, over the course of just half an hour, Dr. Willoughby created a plan, which he then put forward to Gina's parents.

[C]

The idea was to put Gina into a deep coma. So deep that her brain would no longer be able to send instructions to the rest of her body. In theory, this would incapacitate the virus's ability to cause the symptoms and potentially give Gina's body the time it needed to fight the virus off. This was just a theory. It had never been done before. And the risks were incredibly high.

[B]

Though you would feel like if you're saying she's got a 100% chance of death, we might as well try.

[C]

I mean, you would, wouldn't you? And the type of coma that Dr. Rodney was suggesting normally is only brought on for a couple of hours. But Gina would need to be under for over a week for her body to develop the antibodies that it needed. Dr. Willoughby knew that even if Gina's body could fight off the rabies, there was a good chance that recovery from the coma would be just as difficult. But as Saroo said, the other option is 100% death. And Gina's parents felt the same. They felt like they had nothing to lose. And at the very least, they thought they might make some valuable progress for other families who were affected by a rabies bite. So Gina's parents gave Dr. Willoughby permission to put their 15 year old daughter into a coma so deep, she was basically dead. Still better than definitely dead. For the next week, all anyone could do was load Gina's body up with antiviral drugs and hope that she didn't stop breathing. Which still sounds better than being tied to a bed until you die in the dark.

[B]

Yep. So after about a week, Gina's body started to show signs that it was fighting the virus. And after 10 days, unbelievably, Gina was rabies free. Her body had successfully fought off the most deadly disease known to man. But there was still no guarantee that she would wake up. When Dr. Willoughby brought Gina out of the coma, his heart sank. Gina was showing absolutely no signs of bodily function. He thought he had either put her into a vegetative state or, even worse, trapped her working mind inside a paralyzed body. But then, a few days after being brought out of the coma, Gina opened her eyes. Dr. Willoughby didn't want to jump to conclusions. He wanted to make sure it wasn't just some sort of muscle spasm. So he brought in Gina's mum and asked her to remove her surgical mask. And he watched on in relief as Gina's eyes slowly tracked her mum across the room. Gina was back, but she was far from out of the woods.

[C]

When Gina first left hospital in front of the world's press, her motor skills were all over the place and she was struggling to talk. Slowly but surely, though, she did begin to recover. At first, Gina could only crawl, and then she took her first steps. And then, with the help of physiotherapy, she learned to walk again. And after a few long years, she was even able to ride a horse. In the documentary we watched in preparation for this episode, Gina is still struggling to speak. But it was only a couple of years after her miraculous survival. However, what's amazing is that since that documentary, Gina has continued to recover. She's now got two kids of her own and races sled dogs for fun, and her speech has now completely returned. She now lives as the first person in recorded human history to recover from symptomatic rabies. And you might be thinking, hooray, fantastic, a cure for rabies. However, as we mentioned at the start of the show, less than 100 people have survived since. And why is that? Sariti's going to tell you.

[B]

Okay, so first and foremost, the overwhelming majority of rabies cases happen in Africa and Asia, specifically in poorer communities where the general population cannot afford to be vaccinated. And while the vaccine doesn't prevent infection, it does give you more time to get help. But if these people can't afford to be vaccinated, they definitely can't afford to be put into a medically induced coma for a week and loaded up with antivirals. So the flip side of this is that rabies cases in countries where the victim is able to afford to be put into a coma for a week are much less likely to be symptomatic. That's because the victim is much more likely to have been given the vaccine before symptoms started to develop. On top of this, you can see in the documentary that we used in our research, the girl who survived rabies. Not everyone who's put into a coma develops a strong enough immune response, and they are still overwhelmed by the virus. This has led to a debate in the medical community about whether Gina had a particularly strong immune response or was just infected by a particularly weak form of rabies. And the reality is, we'll never know because a sample of her infection was never kept. But given how hard Jeanne has worked to fully recover, it's safe to say I think that her incredibly strong will to survive must have played a part.

[C]

So now we've made you all feel probably quite itchy and horrible. Let's talk about what we can do to avoid getting rabies ourselves. The bad news is that, unlike smallpox, we cannot eradicate rabies. Rabies is not specific to humans or even just mammals. It can be hosted in pretty much any animal with a vertebrae. Although some animals, like birds, are asymptomatic and therefore are unlikely to pass the virus on, the majority of human cases worldwide are inflicted by rabid dogs. And packs of stray dogs are much more prevalent in Africa and in Asia. That being said, the majority of cases in North America do come from bats. Some good news is that as we have been talking about, there is a rabies vaccine. And even better news is if the vaccine and a course of human rabies antibodies is administered to a bite victim, and if symptoms have not started yet, the odds of survival are almost 100%. In fact, if the antibodies are administered within the first 24 hours of infection, the odds actually are 100%. You can receive the rabies vaccine preventatively, obviously, without having been bitten, and that drastically reduces your chances of developing symptomatic rabies. Although you do still need to receive the vaccine after a bite, even if you've had it already.

[B]

Very, very important. Don't think you're safe just because you had the vaccine. It just gives you, what, 24 hours extra?

[C]

That's what I believe is that it gives you an extra 24 hours grace to get to a hospital.

[B]

It might be a bit longer, but they probably tell you that to get your fucking ass.

[B]

So this brings us nicely to our singular top tip to avoid developing symptomatic rabies. And I have to say, this is the simplest top tip we've ever given. And listen up, because it will help you prevent yourself from dying a very unfun death. Get vaccinated. Get your dog vaccinated. Get your cat vaccinated. If you have a bat. I don't know, do they do bat vaccines? Get your bat vaccinated and don't have a bat. That's fucking weird. Get preventatively vaccinated. If you can afford it, or if you are going to a country where rabies is prevalent, get vaccinated again within 24 hours of any bite from an animal that you believe could be rabid. In fact, even if you don't know if it's rabid or you think you're sure it's not rabid, go get vaccinated anyway.

[C]

Tetanus, rabies. That's what you need.

[B]

Exactly. Just, just don't, don't penny pinch there. If you can afford it, it's really, really fucking not worth it. So in North America, because we're not just talking about the rest of the developing world, we're talking about the west as well as in the west, if you get bitten by, like, some sort of stray dog or like, get a bite from a bat again, go get vaccinated. Even if you're sure that that dog wasn't rabid, get treated anyway. And if your child wakes up to find a bat in their room and you can't confirm whether your child has been bitten, get them vaccinated. Because like we said, Gina's bite looked like a tiny little pin prick. The kid might not even know if they've been bitten. Now, in the uk, rabies is exceptionally rare, effectively non existent, but there have been cases of travellers returning home and developing symptomatic rabies, and a few even rarer cases where it appears that the victim had received the bite in the uk. That being said, if you've been bitten by a stray dog, just go and get yourself checked out anyway. It's not going to do anyone any harm. Now, finally, if you're in Peru, there is actually a chance that you might just be immune to rabies. A test of 73 Peruvian people, which granted is not a very big sample size, but of those people they found that seven of them had rabies antibodies in their system despite only one of them ever having been vaccinated.

[C]

That's so interesting. Is it in Peru as well, where there's that community of people who can drink like a super acidic water that would kill anyone else, but because they've been there for so long, they have this like immunity to it?

[B]

Oh, that's interesting. I don't know, but there is definitely an episode of River Monsters and I can't remember where it was, it was definitely somewhere in Asia or Latin America. Just narrowing it down of an indigenous group of people who can catch electric eels with their hands. Like I shit you not.

[C]

Wow.

[B]

Like Jeremy Wade goes and watches them catch electric eels with their hands. And they're fine, they're fine. And then he puts on a full on suit and goes and grabs them and even though the current can't pass into his body and electrocute him, it's like the eel is shocking him and he's like vibrating.

[C]

Wow.

[B]

And it's like they were completely fine. It's crazy. Go watch River Monsters. But back to this. So yes, of the 73 Peruvian people that they tested, they found that seven of them had these antibodies and only one had been vaccinated. Meaning that the other six had almost certainly been infected by rabies at some point and fought off the virus and survived, all without even noticing. So in short, get vaccinated or be Peruvian. And even if you are Peruvian, maybe just get vaccinated anyway.

[C]

I think it has now topped being burned alive as my least favorite way to die.

[B]

Oh, God, you've got rabies. You're strapped to the bed and then there's a fire and you can't get out. Fuck.

[C]

Ah.

[B]

That's it. That is it. That is your episode, your shorthand on rabies. Yeah, like we said. I think the most important one there is if you have any common sense and you are in a situation, you can do so obviously go get vaccinated. But the kid one is the one that's important because they might not tell you if they've been bitten. So even if the fact that you find a bat in your room, what if they're just, like, playing in the woods and something bites them? Tell your kids to tell you if they get bitten by anything. That's a really. That's hard, though. Yeah, that's hard. Well, have fun. Bye.

[C]

Don't have nightmares in your rabies coma.
