SHOULD I BE SCARED OF RABIES?

2023-11-24 16:39:08
Like one month ago i petted a stary dog for like 2secs on its head with my fingers only, very lightly. It seemed like a very normal and chill dog. But suddenly I am scared what if i catch rabbies. There was no bite no scratches and no interaction of liquids of any sort , just my 4 fingers giving its head a little pet for few seconds.
