Concern Related to Exposure to Dog
It was 18 January When I went to Buy something at that time a stray dog licked over my leg I was really concern though I am wearing full pant at that time but not sure whether that Pant was totally covering the place of lick or not even I am also not sure whether the dog licked or not but the wrong thing I have done is not to change the pant and Wearing this pant for more than 2-3 hours.Is it a route of exposure if there are some saliva on pant and I touched them after that touching my eye nose or any mucouse membrane??Also I was concerned over another situation Situation is about 2-3 months back when we used to play on street.Then ball usually went to someone house whose house is full of stray dogs and may be sometimes we use the ball without washing I just thought another way of exposure like if there was a cut on my hand and the ball salivated by dog come into the contact of open wound.I am really worried about this since a month bcz I Know Rabies is 100 percnet Fatal.Please Help Me

Very minimal chances if it is just a lick. But if you are not sure if it bit you, go back and see if the dog developed rabies in the last 10 days. If so please consult a doctor
