Question 1

i am from india. a stray dog sneezed 2-3 metres in front of me but wasn't looking directly towards my face. what is the risk of rabies?

Zero risk: The virus in the animal's saliva must enter through a bite or cut in your skin.  Also your risk of getting rabies would be more likely with multiple bites, or bites to your face or head. Hope that helps.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

YourCatHasSneezles??: Cat respiratory secretions don't carry any viruses that can make you sick, but they are contagious to other cats and..you could carry it to other cats. You can catch other cat infections like conjunctivitis or Toxoplasmosis and others, so be careful about that. Cats are the only animals that can shed this parasite, so get someone else empty the cat box. Petting your cat is OK.Kissing, No.
