re: #159 funky chicken

Actually, your second point is false. You can get rabies vaccines if you are traveling to a country that has a big rabies problem. Look at the CDC website.

The treatment sucks, from what I understand. The shots are said to be very painful.

That still beats getting symptomatic rabies of course, which is like 99.9999% fatal. (I know of one case…a little Mexican girl…who has actually survived rabies)
