The rational, medically safe path now is to not take any more rabies vaccine doses for this recent situation. Eating near dogs or imagining a droplet on a disposable plate is not a realistic rabies exposure. This is your OCD talking—not a true infectious risk. You are doing the right thing by shifting your focus to psychiatric treatment. See a psychiatrist who understands OCD and begin Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)—specifically Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which is gold standard for health anxiety OCD. Medications like SSRIs (e.g., fluoxetine, sertraline) are also highly effective and can help quiet the obsessive thoughts long enough for therapy to work.

You can ask your doctor about getting a rabies antibody titre test (RFFIT). If your levels are above 0.5 IU/mL, you're protected. Knowing this in numbers might ease your intrusive fear. Also, set a clear boundary—if you’ve taken a full course and a booster within the past 3 years, no further vaccine is needed unless a verified Category 3 bite occurs. Practice grounding techniques, maintain a journal to track OCD spikes, and limit rabies-related Googling. Rebuild your daily life around things that matter more than reassurance-seeking. You’re not weak—this is a treatable neurochemical loop, not your fault. You’ve already taken the hardest step by choosing to break it. Stay on that path.
