Although Rabies spreads through the bite of an animal in which the virus enters through the injured skin from the saliva of the rabid animal, it is very rare to spread via mucous membranes unless there is a unhealed ulcer over the oral cavity or cornea of the eye.
Next Steps
Wash with plenty of water and soap if exposed to saliva of an animal.
Health Tips
Get anti rabies vaccine/ post exposure prophylaxis if exposed to animal bite.
Get pre exposure prophylaxis vaccine if traveling to a Rabies endemic country.
