Imagine declining treatment, Rabies is a terrifying and excruciatingly painful way to go, for yourself and everyone around you. It's physical and mental torture.

Indeed. The 1983 BBC mini-series "The Mad Death"†, about an outbreak hitting the UK, portrays it gruesomely.

Doesn't Rabies cause the infected to loose fear and try and bite others to spread it?

I imagine people might not want to be around you if your effected, foaming at the mouth...

You're thinking of zombies. Yes rabies is similar but humans don't go around trying to bite their families.
Well, at least it's not the one 100% fatal disease known to man.

Oh, hang on, now they're saying it is.
