A member asked:
I am hypochondriac. will i get rabies if i touched a blanket that i left outside at night with wounded hands, if a stray cat or rabid bat drooled on it and i didn't know?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No. It is interesting that you characterize yourself as a hypochondriac. If this is true you can try to work on this rather than live in constant fear.
