Despite being such a "household name", rabies is in fact the single deadliest disease in humans. If untreated, results in pretty much 100% mortality. There's a mere handful of people surviving rabies without treatment in recorded history.

That's worse than Ebola, anthrax, SARS, MERS, and anything else you can think of.
