Can you get rabies without getting bitten?

I went on holiday recently to Crete, and a little dog followed me and my partner along the beach. I stroked it but I didn’t get bitten or see any saliva coming from its mouth, could I have got rabies if I wasn’t bitten?

Answer #1

no not really, even if it had saliva on it you still cant get it because it didnt enter your blood stream (or system) so dont worry about it.

Answer #2

Ameena, humans can get rabies. It’s a type of disease called a zoonosis, which means it’s a disease that animals can pass to humans. Another example would be lyme, because the vector is a tick.

Anyway, if the dog looked normal and didn’t bite or scratch you, you don’t have rabies. If for some reason you still think you might, and you’re feeling sick, see a doctor.

Answer #3

Nope..raibies is a dog thing just as human’s get headache etc…
