Plants can NOT get rabies.

A plant capable of eating rodents has been discovered in the Philippines. It is a pitcher plant, newly named Nepenthes attenboroughii, and very rare.

Rat Eating Plant Discovered

A reader asked me to research what would happen if the plant ate a rabid rat. The answer: the world would have one fewer rabid rat. But I wouldn't eat the plant either way.
