Q: can you get rabies from a child? human to human transmission? if they sneeze, breathe or cough on someone?

Unlikely: From the cdc, &quot;bite and non-bite exposures inflicted by infected humans could theoretically transmit rabies, but no such cases have been documented. Casual contact, such as touching a person with rabies or contact with non-infectious fluid or tissue (urine, blood, feces) does not constitute an exposure...&quot;.
