Can you get an infection from being licked by a family dog?

The intact skin licked by a domestic dog is generally not infected with rabies, but if there is a wound, it is possible to be infected with rabies. In the case of being licked by a domestic dog, as long as there is no obvious wound on the licked area, then even if the dog carries the rabies virus, it will not be transmitted through saliva, because the transmission of rabies virus is mainly through the blood. If the patient has a wound where the dog has licked, he may be infected with rabies virus. If a patient is usually scratched or bitten by a dog, regardless of whether the dog carries the rabies virus or not, it is also recommended that the patient needs to be actively vaccinated against rabies to prevent rabies infection. In addition, the lethality rate of rabies is 100%, so it is important to take precautions to avoid contracting the rabies virus.
