Potential Rabies

2025-05-23 10:08:51
Hi! Stray dog licked my hands and I forgot to wash it after and had food with unwashed hands. I recently got tooth extracted and while eating I bled at little bit in the mouth. I am now worried that I could have rabies transmitted due to the bleeding in my mouth? The stay dog was young and looked normal. Do I I need vaccination? I am flying out of country in 4 days and very stressed that I will get rabies. Please advise. Thank you
