Soap used to wash wounds does not transmit rabies. The rabies virus has a very weak ability to survive after leaving the host, so it is impossible for the virus to stick to the soap, and even if there is a trace of virus on the soap, it will die quickly. Moreover, soap is an alkaline solution, which has its own antiseptic properties and can kill some of the virus. The main way rabies is transmitted is through the bite or scratch of a rabid animal, when the rabies virus enters the body through the damaged skin and mucous membranes, thus inducing the disease. There is no cure for rabies and the mortality rate is very high. However, it can be prevented by rabies vaccination, so be sure to get vaccinated within 24 hours of being bitten or scratched by an animal, and the earlier you get vaccinated, the better the immunization effect will be. It is also important to disinfect the wound by rinsing it with soapy or warm water and disinfecting it with povidone-iodine. To avoid contracting rabies, be sure to take the initiative to get vaccinated against rabies. If the wound is large, rabies antiserum should also be administered.
