thecreeper Posted August 1, 2007 #1 Share Posted August 1, 2007 About a month ago on of my friends was attacked while he was in a forest near his house. he was not badly mauled but he could not ID what attacked him. he was only in the hospital for a few days but once he got out he started acting a tad odd. he had a strange oder that seem to make animals hostile around him, he always has bloodshot eyes, always on edge, loss of facial hair, hair changing color from light brown to black (he doesn't dye his hair cause hair dye makes him itch), teeth deformation, strange changes to his nails,bit wounds he suffered healing odd. My friend ask me to post this cause he doesn't have internet at his house.also Nethier my friend or me think this was a werewolf attack.my friend as gone to the docter over his odd symptoms but the docter found nothing wrong with him. so I was wondering what you guys could make of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghø§t Posted August 1, 2007 #2 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Rabies? About the animal, I'm really not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdorablyDead Posted August 1, 2007 #3 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I was about to say rabies as well, but I've never heard of rabies changing your hair color or whatnot like that. Then again, the only thing I've heard of rabies is that it makes you foam at the mouth and makes you hostile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted August 1, 2007 #4 Share Posted August 1, 2007 You are absolutely right: it is a bit hard to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka the Rentboy Posted August 1, 2007 #5 Share Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) Rabies? About the animal, I'm really not sure. Rabies doesn't give off symptoms so quickly though. It can take up to a year. Also, how about a better description of this creature doing the assault? Edited August 1, 2007 by Nena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdorablyDead Posted August 1, 2007 #6 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Rabies doesn't give off symptoms so quickly though. It can take up to a year. That is a slow, slow disease. I thought it was quick as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent. Mulder Posted August 1, 2007 #7 Share Posted August 1, 2007 what did he hear? like what did the animal sound like, noise wise. and could he tell how large it was from the attack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Onyx~ Posted August 1, 2007 #8 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Try and get some pics of the person in question, but make sure they go easy on the eye-shadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghø§t Posted August 1, 2007 #9 Share Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) Yeah that's what I thought also because I've never seen a case of rabies that was advancing so quickly, but as of now I have no clue as to what infections an animal can give you except for rabies. It was my hypothesis. But the hair thing seems real weird. Maybe it's the stress or something related to the bite.

~Onyx~ Posted August 1, 2007 #11 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Ya know, Creeper, if you were a REAL friend, you would find this creature and let it bite you so your friend won't feel so alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbradj Posted August 1, 2007 #12 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Ya know, Creeper, if you were a REAL friend, you would find this creature and let it bite you so your friend won't feel so alone. I couldnt agree more!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocturnal Posted August 1, 2007 #13 Share Posted August 1, 2007 That is a slow, slow disease. I thought it was quick as well. If I recall correctly rabies progresses quickly once the first symptoms show.. but it doesn't immediately develop symptoms (takes 1-3 months-ish). Oddly many of these symptoms seem to coincide with thyroid disorders - which would seem to have nothing to do with being attacked unless it was stress induced.. but thyroid disorders can redden eyes, cause hair loss, irritability, reduced cuticles and bitter nails (though these are rarer symptoms).

swiftpaw fatfox Posted August 1, 2007 #14 Share Posted August 1, 2007 the creature could be any thing. First off what did it look like; canine, feline, bear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Campion Posted August 1, 2007 #15 Share Posted August 1, 2007 It may have been any animal with a disease unknown to science. Hundreds of new diseases are made every day as bacteria mutates and reproduces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know there are hundreds daily? o.O It would suck he had some weird unknown virus that was transmitted from whatever bit him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetpumper Posted August 1, 2007 #17 Share Posted August 1, 2007 His teeth are deforming. Within a month? Yes, very hard to believe. And no, you're right not to think it was a werewolf attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Onyx~ Posted August 1, 2007 #18 Share Posted August 1, 2007 It may have been any animal with a disease unknown to science. Hundreds of new diseases are made every day as bacteria mutates and reproduces. Then we better hurry up and find this creature before this hair-dying disease explodes into a full-blown epidemic.

thecreeper Posted August 1, 2007 Author #19 Share Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) what did he hear? like what did the animal sound like, noise wise. and could he tell how large it was from the attack? he didn't really see the animal, what he saw was a good bit larger than a wolf and it was dark brown in color let off some weird growl that sounded like a really odd gizzly bear Edited August 1, 2007 by thecreeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghø§t Posted August 1, 2007 #21 Share Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) Take a pic of your friends bite, or his scar. And take pics of his symptoms if he's not too shy. It could be a great help in finding out what he has. Edited August 1, 2007 by Ghø§t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Carnivore Posted August 1, 2007 #25 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Buy a cheap digital cam for 20 bucks or so. Then take a picture. Then take your friend back to the hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
