This always puzzled me. Why don't humans act much more aggressive or crazed like its often depicted with animals. Afaik there's 2 types of rabies, "dumb" and "furious" so my question is more towards the 2nd type. For example, we never hear of rabies causing a human to accidentally bite another human so why is that?

Rabies aren't the only diseases wild mice can carry. Definitely get yourself checked out next time!

Mice have been known to spread plague even in recent times, for example. Fortunately, it's treatable with antibiotics.

Uh, that's from their fleas, not bites. FFS, did no one else get through high school history? Or has education fallen this far off?

Oh no, we're all just more concerned about affording to survive, and can't be bothered to remember a detail about a disease from hundreds of years ago that is no longer a threat whatsoever.
