Wmg / Cujo

Go To

Donna's apparent symptoms of rabies at the end were psychosomatic.
Cujo's rapid infection is just barely within the bounds of plausible, but Donna's next-day symptoms and later recovery aren't. She also doesn't actually display normal human symptoms of rabies, in particular biting the paramedic: the urge to bite things doesn't really show up in rabid humans. If rabies causes aggression in humans at all, they display it via the usual human means of expressing aggression, such as using fists or their voice.

She does, however, display stereotypical canine symptoms of rabies. Donna doesn't really know how rabies works, medically, but she has a common knowledge understanding of it combined with the hellish example Cujo set. After the horrific experience she just went through, she loses it from stress and trauma and temporarily embodies what her subconcious thinks is happening. For a little while there, she believed her rage was coming from a rabies infection, and her mind made it real.

The paramedic she bit went through the rabies treatment course because you don't fuck around with rabies and he did get bitten by someone who might have been rabid, but the treatment Donna got was in fact the normal rabies immune globulin and vaccination course, along with treating her wounds.
