No worries. You've asked so many questions regarding potential routes of rabies transmission. Stop worrying. Rabies virus is transmitted through direct contact (such as through broken skin or mucous membranes in the eyes, nose, or mouth) with saliva or brain/nervous system tissue from an infected animal. ref: wwwcdc.gov
