QuickCheck: Do rabies victims develop hydrophobia?


RABIES is the original "zombie virus". It primarily spreads through the saliva of an infected animal, and the disease is usually fatal by the time symptoms manifest.

True to the definition of the word "rabid," sufferers of the disease often become confused and aggressive, and may hypersalivate or froth at the mouth. However, one lesser-known symptom of the disease is hydrophobia, or a fear of water.
