It would be hardly likely. You must get bitten. Very few cases have been cause by less than a bite. If bitten by an animal, washing the wound with soap and water for 10 to 15 minutes
and contacting a healthcare provider to determine if post-exposure prophylaxis is required.

No, rabies is spread by the saliva of an infected animal. You would have to be bitten or clawed by a live raccoon infected with rabies.
