I found 2 sites with the symptoms of rabies in humans. The first mentioned foaming at the mouth because of difficulty in swallowing. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-symptoms-of-rabies-in-humans.htm The symptoms of rabies in humans include irritability, headache, pain, itching or a twitching at the infection site, and fever. As the disease progresses, muscle spasms in the throat and respiratory tract affect breathing, and the sufferer may have difficulty swallowing, the combination of which can produce the trademark “foaming at the mouth”. Further symptoms of rabies as it progresses are hallucinations, convulsions, seizures, paralysis, and eventually death. The second site didn't list foaming at the mouth as a symptom http://www.healthscout.com/ency/68/738/main.html The second site had a time line of symptoms if you want to check it out.
