How do you you get rabies?

Answer 1

Rabies is an infectious disease caused by a Rhabdoviridaevirus. The most common way that the virus is transmitted is from a bite of an infected animal, there have been a few very rare cases of rabies in which people have contracted the disease by inhaling the virus in bat caves, but again this is very rare.

Answer 2

Another view

The transmission of rabies from a non-bite exposures is rare but it happens. Open wounds, scratches, abrasions, or contact with mucous membranes contaminated with saliva or other potentially infectious material (such as brain tissue) from a rabid animal, are considered non-bite exposures. Occasionally non-bite exposures are treated and post-exposure prophylaxis is given. If the dog has drawn blood or been splattered by saliva from the rabid animal then a veterinarian should be consulted.

Answer

Rabies is usually transmitted through saliva the of an infected animal as the result of a bite. It can also be transmitted by direct transfer of infected saliva to the mucous membranes (eyes, nose or mouth) of another animal. Rarely it can be transmitted by scratches, or even through the air in bat caves infested with rabies.

Biting or eating an infected animal can transmit rabies.
