I was in a park in december 2022 and small street dog puppies were playing near me, while playing a puppy fell on my foot and he put his mouth in my feet, I was wearing socks but I could feel a small prick in my toe, I opened my socks I could not see any teeth mark or any blood or even a scratch mark, even I saw with mobile flash light then also I could not see any mark or scratch, I immediately put 95% alcohol sanitizer on it. There was no pain, no redness nor any swelling. Six months have passed I haven't faced any issues till now. I have heard that incubation period of rabies in some cases is even 1 year. Do rabies virus transmit through non visible cuts also? Should I get an anti rabies now? If,yes then 2 dose or full 5? And I have already got 5 shots in april 2022, one shot in july 2022 and one shot in october 2022. Is this a concern or just my over thinking?
