I have taken paid consultations too and was told no vaccination was required, but yesterday I got a post that vaccination maybe required. My question is that if there was a dead kitten on my terrace and the cleaner picked it up with his bare hands and touched the door handles on both my metal doors, is there any chance that if anyone touched those handles after 2 hours and might have rubbed their nose or eyelids, can they get rabies infection? I thought the virus dies up quickly and is not infective, but I read somewhere that rabies virus could be infective on metal till 48 hours, so I panicked. There was no injury or cut that I can remember on my brother's fingers. The mother cat and the kittens were fine till 8-9 days on my terrace, my concern was only if the animal that killed the kitten could have been rabid as either another cat, or a monkey could have gotten on my terrace. Am in Gorakhpur city, temp : 27 degrees Celsius. Sorry, for repeat query, but you Doctors are our blessings
