zack spence final exam essay

dr.r.michael benitez, at a medical center is wrong to ascribe the death of edgar allen poe from rabies through the animal, rather than alcoholism.poe was found outside a bltimore saloon in an alcoholic stupor on october 3,1849 than died 4 days later, his alcoholic condition was pretty bad noted by dr.
joseph snodgrass, but relatives claim that poe was not an alcholic, dr, benitez theory of edgar allen poe dying of rabies has no evidence of a bite, scratch, of passing of rabies. and they said that rabies caused itching and other sensations that caused a limb or entire side of body. they say he didnt die drunk in a gutter, but rather had rabies a new study suggests.
A whitness says edgar was seen at a bar on lombard street in october 1849, but poe was not a drunk the next day he shouted and talked to hallusanations.in the brief period when he was calm and awake, poe refused alcohol and could only drink water which was sierd cause when they thought he had rabies he drank water and the doctor said that the patients didnt wanna drink water cause the paitents were scared of drinkin it cause it was hard to swallow so they thought that he didnt have it.
poe although did have features of encephalicitic rabies, said dr. henry wilde, who freequently treats rabies at chulalongkorn university hospital in bangkok,thailand.but all the time in the hospital poe did eventually die.ledgend has it that poe scummed in the gutter, a victim of his debauched ways, ways most people who came up with a thoery how he died have no proof, in most versions poe was wearin someone elses clothes (robbed of his suit).
poe almost surley didnt die of alcohol poisioning or with drawl, said mr.jerome
the writer was so senstive od alcohol that even a glass of wine would leave him ill or days and leave him sick and twizted. also bat realated subtypes of rabies have been identified in cases of human reabies since in 1980 although patient contact of any sort with bats could be documented in only 7 cases of these patients.
