Context: after eating a death cap (Amanita phalloides), you'd notice a few of the symptoms at first, but these usually resolve after a day or two. After this, you'll enter a latent phase where you feel fine, but your liver and kidneys slowly start to fail. By the time you notice, it's usually already too late.

I think you can survive death cap if you seek treatment even after symptoms show up within 12 hours, although chance of survival drops drastically afterwards.

In rabies symptoms means you're done.
