Paranoid of having rabies
I'm hypochondriac. Today, I petted a stray dog and hand fed it. Some of its saliva got on my hand. I washed it off with only water and ate lunch right after. Later in the evening, I washed my hands again with soap, and masturbated (I'm 17). It only occurred to me after finishing, that the stray I petted could have been infected with rabies. I researched symptoms of rabies and they scared me even more because I experience some of them. Like twitching, headache and I feel my body getting hot.

Dont worry. If you had no cuts in the hand where the stray licked , you are safe.
