Infection through cut in mouth

2023-12-12 11:06:10
Is it possible to get infected by rabies through this wound inside my mouth ? Could this lead to a potential exposure in future ... I took rabies vaccine 3 months ago ( 4 shots ) ... I don't know how long immunity last for ... As my last vaccine shot was on September ... Am I safe ? Does this wound poses any threat if saliva of any rabid animal touches it ( as it is on my mouth ) ...? Should I take any extra booster if rabid saliva touches this wound ? I have attached the pictures of my wound kindly take a look .
