Can I get rabies like this?

Question

I went up to a chipmunk burrow. I started to dig deep. Will I get rabies? There could be saliva there, but I don't remember if I had cuts but I did wash my hands. Also there was an eagle eating a racoon and I parked my car on the side of the road. I went up to the racoon and the eagle flew a away. I took a picture of the racoon but did not make any contact. Could saliva that entered through my shoes give me rabies?

Answer 1

You could have microscopic cuts and there could have been microscopic saliva or bodily fluid traces. The raccoon would be a no, and the chipmunk burrow is also probably a no. But I'd be more careful, what if it had bitten you? The shots must be where the wound was, and rabies is a VERY dangerous and deadly disease. It is NOT a fun way to die.

Answer 2

Rabies is a very fragile virus and dies quickly when exposed to air. You would not catch rabies in theses cases.

Answer 3

Seriously, why are you stoppijg your car to get out and take a picture of a dead half eaten raccoon?

You can't get rabies through your shoes but please, quit puttiing yourself in situations like that. Alos, please quit taking pictures of dead animals.
