Can monkey bite causes rabies?

A monkey bite can infect a human with rabies just the same as any other animal infected with it can. Monkeys are NOT born with rabies. They need to be bit by another infected animal. If a monkey has never been exposed to rabies then no, its bite will not "cause" rabies. If however, the monkey has been around another rabid animal and it was bit, it can infect another animal or person if it bites them. Note, rabies is deadly in monkeys just as it is in humans, so a monkey with rabies would not live very long anyway.

Rabies is a neurotropic virus that can cause fatal disease in humans, it is transmitted to them by infective animals who have themselves contracted Rabies. A common infection route is established by a bite, or by saliva from an infected animal entering through a skin wound or lesion.

Can you get rabies from being castrated with a spoon?

Rabies is caused by an infectious communicable virus that is transmitted via the saliva of an infected mammal. Therefore, if the spoon were sharp enough to cut the scrotal skin and had saliva from an infected mammal on it, yes, being castrated with a spoon could result in rabies.

Please bear in mind, however, that this would be a very rare occurence. Humans generally contract rabies after being bitten by an infected animal or having an open wound (scratch, etc.) exposed to the saliva of an infected animal.

Can you get rabies from an animal scratching you?

The only way rabies can be transmitted is if the animal has rabies(this does not include pets)and it bites you and it draws blood. Do not worry and if it makes you feel better,see a doctor.
