>>14249902Why bother googling it when you can ask a pack of smartass retards on /sci/, the vast majority of who have no genuine interest in science, are poorly educated, only semi-literate and frequently display symptoms of mental illness.
But I was curious enough to look it up myself.
TLDR: Dont suck the blood of recently dead rabid animals and you will fine. Should the worse happen then get the vaccine asap.
Here are the relevant exerts from various sources:
Rabies is caused by lyssaviruses, including the rabies virus and Australian bat lyssavirus.[3] It is spread when an infected animal bites or scratches a human or other animals.[1] Saliva from an infected animal can also transmit rabies if the saliva comes into contact with the eyes, mouth, or nose.[1] Globally, dogs are the most common animal involved.[
In people who have been exposed to rabies, the rabies vaccine and sometimes rabies immunoglobulin are effective in preventing the disease if the person receives the treatment before the start of rabies symptoms.[1] Washing bites and scratches for 15 minutes with soap and water, povidone-iodine, or detergent may reduce the number of viral particles and may be somewhat effective at preventing transmission
The period between infection and the first symptoms (incubation period) is typically 1–3 months in humans.[20] This period may be as short as four days or longer than six years, depending on the location and severity of the wound and the amount of virus introduced
non-bite exposures very rarely result in rabies. People cannot get rabies indirectly, such as by petting or handling animals, or from contact with urine, blood, feces, or fomites (such as bowls, beds, or surfaces contacted by potentially rabid animals).
How Long Can the Rabies Virus Survive? The virus cannot live outside of the body for more than a couple of seconds.Live virus, however, can be found in deceased animals for as long as 48 hours.
