Check with a vet: In dogs two weeks is considered a safe period. It is also likely to be the case with cats. However, you may wish check with a veterinarian. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine

I have a VERY shallow and minor cut on my finger(no blood, or redness, and barely visible). Can I contract rabies if saliva from a rabid animal got in this type of cut? I feel like it came into contact with a possibly contaminated chain, I held?
