Other factors to consider when evaluating a potential rabies exposure include the natural occurence in the area, the biting animal's history and current health status (e.g., abnormal behavior, signs of illness), and the potential for the animal to be exposed to rabies (e.g., presence of an unexplained wound or history of exposure to a rabid animal).
A currently vaccinated dog, cat, or ferret is unlikely to become infected with rabies.
When an exposure has occurred, the likelihood of rabies infection varies with the nature and extent of that exposure. Under most circumstances, two categories of exposure -- bite and nonbite -- should be considered.
. You are FINE. There is NO chance that you will get rabies. Don't waste your time worrying about this. Worry about Ebola in Africa, Iraq and the Palestinian/Israeli skirmishes. You'll be fine. Really.
Yeah, I guess it's stupid to worry about it. I found out that rabies can only live outside a host for SECONDS. Thanks.
