This is probably a dumb question, but if we eliminate the hydrophobia caused by rabies, would it increase the survival rate of active rabies?

I've been learning some about rabies and learned about rabies causing hydrophobia. This is just a theory, I'm not saying I know anything about this topic to be knowledgeable, but if we could get someone with rabies to not fear water, could they survive?
You're viewing a single thread.
No. You can fix the dehydration relatively easily by just giving the person liquid intravenously.
But the primary way rabies kills you is liquifying your brain, which is independent of how hydrated you are.
So that's what The Shape of Water is about, never saw it.
Nah that movie was about how human men are biologically flawed and that our cock and balls should be internal in some kind of clam shell like thing.
Happy reptile noises.
For whatever reason sperm cells just come out better when kept a couple degrees colder, though, so here we are with our insides out.
Yeah its the prime example that evolution isn't perfect just happy with good enough.
Also a great detriment to the "grand design"
It also illustrates a funny bit of the logic of multicellular non-clonal creatures: the germ line is the species. The other 99.9...% of you is just a fancy delivery mechanism, so it makes sense to add something seemingly super impractical to the anatomy if it slightly helps the sex cells.
Many organs function poorly when liquefied.
