*Rabid bite applies poison rate and infection, both for displayed length. Once a target has been infected, infection length cannot be overridden until it expires (although poison rate and length can still be overridden by an equal or higher rate).

*Skill level is set upon biting. Any poison attack damage added by items or [[Venom (skill)|Venom]] is treated as a separate and thus competing source. If poison attack damage has a higher rate, it will be applied for its length; if this expires before the infection, Rabies poison rate and remaining length may be applied by missile afterwards.

*+% [[Poison Skill Damage]] is applied upon biting and upon firing of missiles spreading infection, while -% [[Enemy Poison Resistance]] is applied whenever a new source of poison is applied to a target. Consequently, damage can be maximised by attacking at the highest skill level possible, then switching weapons or other equipment to apply more +% PSD and -% EPR.

*-% EPR can result in variable poison length to different targets, even those whose infection was spread from the same bite, since poison rate can be applied multiple times with diminishing length each time.

*Since poison damage can be constantly reapplied while infected, Rabies can kill players outright: after being reduced to one life point, a subsequent application will kill them.
