Is there any chance of rabies or any ?
Hello doctor , my concern is
Yesterday I was walking on road , my shoe laces got opened up , which I tied as soon as this happened , and did not wash my hands , but I realised later that I ate biscuits after tieing my shoe laces with those hands ,
Now my mind is thinking that , since my laces touched the road and other various areas and dog and other animals live on the road
So should I be concerned that I may get affected by any disease either
Rabies or any other disease ??? Please reply
