Doctor I live in New Delhi. My mother just sent me food from my home and the delivery guy came walking, carrying it in his hand. After eating the food, I realised that there are 3 holes in the top cover. There are a lot of stray dogs between the way from my home to my office. After eating the food, I realised that a dog's spit might have gone into it. Can this put me at risk for an infection?

Technically rabies can only happen through dog bite and not through contaminated food. So you do not have to worry about it. Our body/digestive system has a lot of strength to withstand minor toxins if any. Just relax nothing will happen to you.
