Can rabies transfer in this way?

I've heard a lot about rabies,I was scared,if someone who raise dos touch the food after his hand was lick by his dog.then I eat the food,do I have any risk catching rabies?I wonder if the virus exposured to air,can they live more than ten minutes?I want to know :can rabies virus survive outside their host?

It is possible, BUT, does the dog have rabies? Unless it was bitten recently by a wild animal that had rabies, than the dog is almost guaranteed to NOT have it. Very, VERY few dogs have it - it kills them, too.

So in short, unless the dog is diagnosed with rabies in the very near future, you have nothing to worry about.

Rabies is blood to blood or saliva to blood and this can happen by being bit by an animal that has it. You can't get it from someone preparing food after they were licked by a dog or cat. Also, ask the pet owner if their dog get's rabies shots, most likely they do. Report It
