Hi dear
Just for the spit u don't require tt
Although if u have a wound in ur body and the saliva has gone there in that case u might but it depends upon the type of wound
Just wash everything in Dettol water and u will be good to go
Take care

First of all u should check any site of injury on ur body , if present u should go for vaccine.
If u r not sure abt any injury site than go for vaccine , its better to spend sm penny instead of getting rabies.
