Being a poor college student, the only restaurant you can afford to eat at is the Road Kill Café. You are served some sort of dish that contains meat that from an animal that was infected with rabies virus. Rabies virus typically replicates in the neuronal tissue of animals and is spread by saliva introduced into bite wounds, where it infects the peripheral nerves and travels to the brain. Although you may otherwise get sick from this meal, will you necessarily get rabies? Please substantiate why or why not? Assume that, other than the use of rabies-infected road kill, this establishment conforms to typical restaurant health codes.

Answer #1

If the restaurant strictly follows good sanitary practices, and if it follows thorough cooking, then it is unlikely that the virus gets transmitted to the person who eats, since high temperatures deactivates he virus. However, it was reported that the persons who butcher the rabies infected animal are prone to get infected.
