Rabies should not be of concern in above described circumstances. Reliable information regarding rabies transmission is available on cdc.gov.

In order to contract RABIES you have to be bitten by some animals that are rabid. RACOON SKUNK DOG. Water in eye or face is not a carrier of rabies. A blood injury such as a bite will cause rabies.
