Hello. My name is oleg. I am in china now. 2 days ago I was walking and stepped into some drops of blood. I saw a dead rat in front and went away. Anyway, I worry if I could bring any viruses or illnesses to my home on my shoes (especially I worry about rabies, cause I don't know how that rat was killed?maybe by an animal, who had rabies and there could left this animal saliva/slabber on the ground). Also I worry, that if I brought any illnesses in my home, I could get ill by touching shoes by hands/legs with small sores/cuts or touching other clothes and things which could be in contact with my shoes or shoe marks. I'm afraid of getting rabies. Cause maybe this virus can live in air or can stay on my clothes and floor. Please help me with advice. Thank you.
