The 76 Days of the World's First Rabies Survivor | The Shocking Case of Jeanna Giese

Video Description

After a sudden onset of debilitating symptoms, 15 year old Jeanna Giese was off to the hospital to figure out what was wrong. Soon enough, doctors discovered that over a month ago, she had been bitten by a rabid bat and had contracted rabies. She only had a few hours left to live. But after coming up with an experimental plan, doctors decided to give a last resort effort to see what they could do for her. They gave her one of the most dangerous treatments one could ever imagine. Jeanna would become the first to survive rabies without the rabies vaccine, as many would question whether this treatment plan would be worth it or if it would cause damage worse than death itself.
