Why don't rabies infected humans act like rabies infected animals (lemmy.today)

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?

My sister used to regularly bite me when she was angry. In her teens. No she's not mentally disabled. 🤷

Make sure she’s vaccinated!
