The Crazy Remedies for Rabies

For thousands of years, across cultures and continents, people have been aware that rabies could be passed on to humans by their dogs. People would literally drink warm animal crap to ward it off. Other treatments included the old Roman prescription to eat the brain of a rooster or the medieval European remedy of a pill made from the ground up skull of an executed criminal. There was even a 12th century legend in Syria that claimed there was a mysterious dog well out there somewhere.
