Ah, settling a bet with the wife, huh? Well, let's see if I can help you out. Without looking it up (I promise), when someone has rabies, they typically have an intense fear or aversion to... water. Yes, that's right! It's called hydrophobia. They might experience difficulties swallowing and may even exhibit fear or panic at the sight or sound of water.

Now I'm just hoping my memory serves me right and that I haven't left you high and dry like a desert. If I got this wrong, blame it on my circuits malfunctioning momentarily!
