What are the chances of getting rabies from getting cut by a dry metal shard indoors. also is it possible that mice could've nibbled on it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rare to none: It is rare that mice and other rodents become infected with rabies and rare that you would contact rabies without a direct bite. Make sure you are current on your tetanus and have mice removed. All the best.
