Sage,

I'd consider the choice to be kind of like russian roulette. I sure didn't 
know the shots cost so much, though! It's enough to make anyone pause and 
consider the consequences. Would your insurance cover putting you into an 
artificial coma should it turn out that you actually do have rabies going on 
in there? I have seen an article that it worked for someone somewhere last 
year. Apparently normal approaches don't work with this virus (or is it a 
bacterial infection?) ...or why would they have folks go through all the cost 
and trouble (or is it like the cancer scare treatments)? 

This is going to be educational for me as others give advice...I've often 
wondered just how much fear mongering is part of the rabies thing, and how 
much is actual seriousness of the situation. If it were me, I'd have to go 
into debt and get the shots... just because there doesn't seem to be any 
reports of 'mild' rabies...it seems to be all or nothing.
