Ok, so one day my friend, my other friend, and my brother were walking around our building parking lot, hanging out, this is near a woods, then it was around 4 ish pm, a small raccoon came out from the woods, it was very small, thin and the poor thing was limping, hard to walk. it collapsed, layed there and had a seizure. It walked up limping and had another seizure, this poor raccoon probably had rabies. My friends and I followed it, far though like 2 meters and it never noticed us, we went to our parents and called animal control after 1 hour, they came and took it away. Now is it possible that the ground that both I and the raccoon shared have left rabies, perhaps from the saliva or other fluids, i carried the germs in my home, not putting clothes in laundry and not proper hand washing… Should i get shots, my mom said no because i didn’t touch it.
Oh yeah. This happened about 1 year ago, maybe even more! :S But i read that rabies can take years to develop..
Also incident 2:
i was dog sitting a dog and i was walking it, i had not much experience with dogs, so i as walking it, and the dog rolled around in a dead squirrel! I ran home and franticaly washed it with human shampoo. Do you think the animal had rabies and got on the dog, the dog was vaccinated, but I wasnt! ARENT … i AM NOT! SO THE RABIES TRANSFERED ON MY AND THEN I ATE WITH THE DISUISTING NESS OF RABIES! I ATE WITH THE RABIES ON IT! POSSIBILITY? THIS HAPPENED ALSO 1 YEAR AGO(OOPS caps lock on) This happened 1 year ago, but again rabies can take years, and also my other incedint, i was in romania and my uncles dog licked my open wound, it ws a stray but he had it for 9 moonths and it was vaccinated, it may be safe, but what about me? this happened 6 months ago.
and my last one http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkpJW9KCAge3.lTtQcx.vmLsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090212144903AAz70Tv
