Sorry, Sue, rabies is curable; I recall reading a report that a person with
rabies had been cured about 5 years ago. As I recall, it requires VERY
aggressive treatment, and the patient nearly died, but the patient eventually
recovered.

Unfortunately, I don't recall any details about the treatment.
