minus-square【J】【u】【s】【t】【Z】@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoObviously they overlooked a scratch or a bite. Rabies isn’t airborne.
minus-squareMouselemming@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoMaybe it drooled into their open mouth or something. Or onto their hand and later they picked their nose.
minus-squarebrrt@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoThis you? No scratches, no bite. Why would they?
