I walked under a tree and felt something wet hit my eye i hasnt been raining that i was aware off. Im so scared that an animal with Rabies saliva had fallen into my eye and im going to catch it. I know that it can happen with non-bite exposures which is why my aniexty is not letting me think otherwise.

      According to wikipedia, since 1902 there have been 26 deaths in the whole of the UK from rabies. Does that make it seem like the chances of you having it are less? x
