Question: Can I have rabies????
there was a recently dead racoon/squirrel/skunk that was run over by a car, and it was in the street, and another car passed by running over it and it hit my eye(blood i think), can i have rabies? thank you

Answers:

the chances are small near 0, see if you can get the body of the dead animal tested, there is no way to test for rabies in humans unitl the person gets sick and develops the terminal disease, by then it is too late for effective treatment, talk it over with your doctor and have the dead body tested, rabies is not a blood borne disease it does not replicate in the blood only in the nervous tissue and saliva. but the chances of it having rabies are low, but still see if you can find the body anyway



Yes, the virus is in the blood of the animal. so get your self checked.
