NO
The answer is NO, unless the dog is infected with it and it bites or scratches you. You can't get rabies with swallowing it.
Fleas on a cat are probably either dog fleas or cat fleas (these are two different species, but despite the name, either can survive on either a dog or cat ... or for that matter on other mammals). Both of them can and will bite humans.
There is only one way to get a venereal disease and it isn't from dog bites or scratches. VD is only contracted from human to human

Both cat's and dogs, of ANY breed can feasibly kill a human. Most fatal dog attacks are not fatal due to severity of injury, but because of neglect to treat the infection almost guaranteed to occur. Cat's claws and teeth are covered in simulair bacteria, making any scratches or bites that draw blood potentially dangerous, especially on small persons such as infants.
Although cats are found in nearly a third of U.S. households, cat bites are far less common than dog bites. According to one study, cats inflict perhaps 400,000 harmful bites in the United States each year.
i suggest to go to the vet and get some real treatment for the dog before he/she scratches the rash more and makes it worse.
