Is it okay if a dog rubs up against you with your clothes on?



You can’t get the rabies virus from being rubbed by a dog while wearing clothes, because the rabies virus is spread primarily through blood.

The rabies virus is usually spread by infection through broken wounds and then through blood. Therefore, if you are bitten or scratched by a cat or dog carrying rabies virus, once the skin mucous membrane is broken or bleeding wounds, you may be infected with rabies, and need to be vaccinated against rabies in time, and need to be injected with anti-rabies immunoglobulin if necessary.

The incubation period of rabies virus is usually within 3 months, short may be less than a week, long may be more than a year, the specific incubation period, usually with the location of the virus invasion and the rabies virus load has a relationship.

The rabies virus is extremely dangerous and 100% lethal, so it needs to be actively prevented.
