What Is Rabies?
5. Insomnia
Rabies will also often cause insomnia, and this can worsen some of the other symptoms like fatigue and agitation. The patient can also experience hallucinations, and this can mean they will hear, see, and smell things that do not exist in reality. The hallucinations can be very real for the patient despite them not actually existing.
The disease will also sometimes cause partial paralysis. The limb where the infection first took place is likely to become paralyzed first, and the paralysis will slowly spread to other parts of the body. This will affect around 20% of patients with rabies, and it will also likely cause weakness.
