How likely is contracting rabies from a bucket and cardboard used to trap and get rid of a bat?

FloydP asked:
I had a meeting yesterday evening with what? seemed to be a little (or possibly large) block a common brown PA. I have concluded on entrapment in a bucket against the wall and I slide a piece of cardboard behind it. Then I threw the bucket and paper board outside the door and I closed it quickly. About 30 sec pi? I then called the bucket and paper board. Finally I did not have direct contact with the blockade, no bite, scratch or not, but after reading about the network I 'm the was concerned about possible exposure to saliva. I did not bring gloves and don 't remember washing my hands afterwards. But I also don 't recall anything that touches on the wet bucket or cardboard (I have only touched the edge when it draws). The block? seemed to behave normally when inside the house (there were some blocks inside here in the past). After flying around all'indennit? for a few minutes he landed on the wall upside-down and l wait? the other a few minutes, no saliva dripping from it, we kind of surveillance until you trapped. My concern? if pi? then touch my eyes, mouth (did extract a tooth a few days ago), and so on., after contact bucket. I have some cuts on my hands, some dry skin on the back are everything. I am here who are paranoid about possible rabies infection?

i think you should be fine as long as you don’t remember touching yourself in any places with cuts or openings. always wash your hands! you will be A-OK!

you need to be bit by an animal to get rabies. of course, the animal has to have rabies. rabies is spread through the saliva of the animal
