You’re experiencing OCD with health anxiety, specifically a fear of rabies through indirect contact. But rabies does not spread through feces, dried surfaces, or clothes. It requires a fresh bite or saliva exposure to an open wound. The scenarios your mind is creating are extremely unlikely and driven by anxiety, not facts. Try to resist reassurance-seeking and avoid washing or discarding clothes unnecessarily. This is a fear loop, and CBT with Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) can help break it. Take therapy, and you can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

Sorry to hear that. There is excessive preoccupation with getting this sickness, and resultant anxiety because of which these thoughts have become so distressing. Managing anxiety will help.
