You generally can’t get rabies from wiping your mouth with a napkin that has been licked by a dog. The rabies virus is usually spread through animal licks, scratches, and bites that cause bleeding or breaks in the skin. Even if you are bitten by a dog, as long as the skin and mucous membranes are not broken, you will not be infected with the rabies virus. The rabies virus has a relatively short survival time outside the body, and once it leaves the host body, it loses its infectious ability very quickly, especially in dry environments where it cannot survive, so it is generally not transmitted through indirect contact. Rabies virus is a relatively dangerous virus, so once bitten or scratched by a dog, it is recommended to protect yourself with rabies virus vaccination.
