Respected sir, rabies is a fatal disease transmitted by blood or body secretions, however the contact you are mentioning is very highly unlikely to cause rabies. Thankyou.

Asked for male, 16 years old from Samastipur

I am 16. And was playing gully cricket, then the tennis ball was taken in mouth by a street dog and he was chewing on it and trying to play with it. He then dropped the ball after some seconds. Then the ball fell into a drainage (naala) right after then a friend of mine picked it up and washed it with water only, my over was next and I played with the ball. I do not have any open wounds in my hand, but some of my fingers have some skin peeled around the nails due to some basic vitamin deficiency. Could I have gotten rabies becoz of playing with that ball?

No there is no chances as virus dies immediately in air. According to history no chances of rabies transmission.
