Dear Doctor, A dog licked my son's full pant. The skin under the pant was intact with no cuts. But the problem is my son unmindfully touched that area on the pant with his hand few minutes after the incident. With that hand he touched his mouth or lips. Is there any risk of Rabies through his touched hand to mouth?
