Can i get rabies from water drops from melting snow on my roof , i swallowed while staying on my window and i''m curious if there is a % to get rabies?

Life is about risk: Many things are possible in life. The percentage chance of the average person getting rabies from swallowing snow-melt drip from his rooftop is 0%, mathematically speaking. No worries, unless your roof is home to all the bats and raccoons in the neighborhood. Beware of falling icicles from tall buildings, as they're more likely to get you than is rabies from the rooftop snow-melt.
