Mice are the Usain Bolt of rabies death. They don’t mess around. A mouse can die from rabies in as little as three to five days after symptoms appear.
Why so fast? They’re tiny. Their nervous system is a short, zippy highway. The virus just blasts through them like a drag racer. It’s a sad, tiny fireworks show.
Imagine a little mouse with a headache. Then, poof. Gone. That’s the rabies express.
