Do Werewolves Carry Rabies?

Does Jason wear a hockey mask? No doubt these half-man, half-wolf creatures are capable of contracting this terrible disease, and some have even theorized (incorrectly) that the entire idea of werewolves originated from stories associated with the rabies virus.

Those of us who know better (horror fans) understand that werewolves come in many shapes and sizes — some are part of an ancient race of shapeshifters while others have “The Curse” that causes transformation during the full moon (people with this affliction often wake up naked at the zoo). Still others are ordinary people who simply drink too much and turn into complete maniacs. People with this affliction often wake up at the police station.

Tonight is a full moon, by the way, so make sure to hang your wolfsbane in the window and if you do happen to see a canined lycanthrope at the 24 hour vet, give him a scratch behind the ears and thank him for acting responsibly. After all, if you happen to get bit and undergo transformation, do you really want to start your lunar rampage hallucinating and foaming at the mouth?

Thanks for reading! Howl at the full moon tonight and check back next week for more horror comedy cartoon from Grinsane!
