While it is far from common, and certainly not guaranteed, youcan get rabies from touching an animal that has been in contact with a rabid animal. What has to happen is that the blood or saliva of the rabid animal is on the fur or skin of the animal you touch. Then that blood or saliva has to get into your body through a break in your skin such as a cut, sore, or abrasion or by being transferred to a body opening like the eye, mouth or nose, where mucous membranes can permit entry of the virus.
