What are the possible causes of the spread of rabies?

Question

Hello doctor,

Can I get rabies if a dog's saliva gets directly to the inside of the nose?
A friend touched the dog and touched my face with her hands, which were still wet. Can I get rabies from it?
A dog sniffs and licks my hand, and there is a small wound, but is there a possibility that I can get rabies from it?
Is it true that if a dog is still healthy and did not die within 14 days, it has no rabies and does not transmit in you, and you do not have to get an anti-rabies vaccination?

Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

No, you cannot get rabies if a dog's saliva gets directly inside the nose. There is no need to get anti-rabies vaccination if a dog is still healthy and did not die within 14 days. If your symptoms persist, schedule another follow-up appointment via chat, phone, or video consultation.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
