No, rabies can only be transmitted by the exchange of critical bodily fluids, such as an infected dog's saliva mixing with human blood after a bite. Licking will not transmit the disease unless the dog licks a wound you may have.

You can get rabies from inhaling the virus. Infected bat (the mammal) droppings have been known to transmit rabies via air. Generalize for yourself.

Can you get rabies from my friends kitten who licks it's fur and lives outside I had a mosquito bite and I touched him but I dont know if the saliva went in the mosquito bite?

In the first place, you cannot get rabies from a kitten unless it has rabies. If it is healthy, you have nothing to worry about. In the second place, it is very unlikely bacteria would have survived the trip from the kitten's tongue to its fur to your hand. And third, the mosquito bite is not an open wound (unless you have really scratched it open) that would allow bacteria to enter your body.


Can a cat catch rabies from ingestion?
