NO. The Illness is similar to Rabies in the fact that it does swell the brains of wolves, but it is not rabies.

What makes it different from rabies?
- The Illness does not cause an animal to foam at the mouth.
- The Illness is only spread by eating an infected host.
- The Illness is spread to prey animals by feces dropped onto grasses and trees. Once digested, it spreads to the brain and within 2 days the first host is dead. When the carcass is eaten, the second host becomes infected. This time, the illness remains dormant. It is triggered when the secondary host is in a thriving environment and causes a mass die-off.
- The Illness does cause swelling in the brain, leading those infected to attack others, but they will not catch The Illness through saliva or being bitten.
