Can a monkey cause Rabies

2025-01-27 07:00:49
I went to the waterfalls yesterday. I was having snacks in my hand while a monkey came from anywhere and snatched it from my hand. While it was snatching, the monkey's hand touched my fingers. I checked my hand to see if there was any scratch or wound. There was no wound or pain also. I just felt a sense of touch. Am I exposed to Rabies virus? Should I take the Rabies vaccine? Kindly advise

Any scratches or bites from any wild animal are a potential source of Rabies. Mere touch does not spread Rabies if you don't have any broken skin.Just wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for about 15 minutes.
