Fear induced concern around rabies
Yesterday, I was in an auto, and a dog from another auto moving next to me, was drooling alot and its drool was moving with the air. I am paranoid about whether its drool ever entered my nose through the wind. And whether I should be worried. This happened more than 24hrs ago.

Please don't worry â this is not a rabies risk at all. Rabies is transmitted only through direct bites or when infected saliva comes into contact with open wounds or mucous membranes through direct contact. It does not spread through the air in open settings like a road. Even if some drool was carried by the wind near you, this kind of indirect airborne exposure is not a recognized route of rabies transmission. You do not need any vaccine or treatment. You are completely safe.
Next Steps

No there’s no need of worry because rabies transmission occurs through bite or scratch
Next Steps
Since there was no known bite, scratch, or direct splash/contact of saliva into your eyes, mouth, nose, or broken skin, there is usually no need to worry or take rabies vaccination for this incident alone.
Health Tips
There’s no need to worry and stay calm
