When I rescued her, my Vet said she had been abused. I thought I could love her so much, she would not feel threatened, however, today while checking her for ticks and fleas, she sunk her teeth in to my hand and kept attacking me as I walked away.

I disagree with the above poster. I don’t believe it’s too late but you have to evaluate risk and what you are able to do. Idk what area you are in but there is a trainer named Sean O’Shea of The Good Dog training company, and many of his methods have helped my human aggressive dog. I would recommend with the severity of your case that you take your dog to a REPUTABLE trainer and do a board to train program where they take your dog, evaluate and train and then make sure (!) there is a whole period of time dedicated to training you. I have heard great things about a trainer in SoCal named Brian Agnew (who helps/helped run Cesar’s training program). There are so many resources out there. Don’t liste to people who claim to be experts without A TON of proof that they are rockstars. Rehab is hard and many misguided ppl can make the situation worse. I also recommend looking at Aimee Sadler’s Playing for Life program. It’s normally for shelter dogs but is an amazing program

Well for one a high pitch yelping sound and whimpering made by you will signal to the dog "ouch". That's dog for that hurt. Also walking away triggers their predatory instincts. Once it's gone to this state it's too late to do a Ceasar Milan snap them out of it trick. His methods prevent that attack. Once it has happened it is my personal belief you need to make that dog submit but many are uncomfortable with these techniques. I only use it on severe corrections but it also helps to see what happened when that triggered this. I worry more so about the flash biting as it is called. Dogs should not bite without growling first to say hay I don't like what you are doing. That leads me to think the growling has been corrected out of her. Also it's a good idea to give treats to the dog when doing something they don't like. So you are trading them. Also exercise energy out of them first then wait for calm energy. All in all professionals are always a good idea to get help from. Best of luck
