Can i get syphilis if somebody licks/sucks my toes and i have an open wound on my toes?

Unlikely, but possible if the person has active sores in the mouth due to syphilis. There are different strains for Treponema, one being recognized as endemic that can be transmitted through skin to skin contact, cdc.gov has reliable information regarding syphilis transmission.

The risk is low. If you develop a sore at the site that was licked, it would be prudent to see a doctor for evaluation. You may wish to get a blood test for syphilis in 6 months. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
