Hi, I understand your concern, But rabies virus does not survive long outside a host nd is primarily transmitted through the saliva of an infected animal via bites or fresh wounds, not through dried feces or environmental surfaces.
In the situation you described with suspected mongoose feces that was dry, likely old nd had no direct contact with broken skin or mucous membranes,, the risk of rabies transmission is virtually ZERO. Washing the clothes (even with just water) and drying them in sunlight further reduces any potential microbial presence.So rest assured, there is no need for worry or any rabies vaccination in this case. Always gud to be cautious, but this scenario does not pose a rabies risk.
Thnx Dr.SY 🙏

Rabies virus can only survive in living being and spread via fresh saliva.

No, rabies cannot be transmitted through mongoose stool or contact with dried feces on clothing.Washing the cloth and drying it would effectively remove and inactivate any environmental pathogens, including rabies (even if it were theoretically present, which is highly unlikely in feces).
