To paraphrase David St. Hubbins in This Is Spinal Tap, dozens of provosts contract rabies each year. It's just not really widely reported. When it happens, deans -- who are closest by and thus most exposed -- generally get bitten. Recall that the key symptoms to keep in mind are irritability, aggressiveness, excessive movements or agitation, confusion, bizarre or strange thoughts, or hallucination, unusual postures. Also individuals with rabies produce a lot of saliva (spit), and muscle spasms in their throat might make it hard to swallow. This causes the "foaming at the mouth" symptom.
Keep an eye out and beware.
