The History of Rabies

If you are bitten by a rabbit dog, I want you to pluck all of the feathers from around its anus and then hold said anus to the bite wound. If the rooster swells up, it has sucked the poison out and you'll be fine. After all these thousands of years, the bite of a rabid dog carries as much horror as it did from the very beginning. Fear drove the widespread belief that a bite wasn't necessary for disease.
