The other day my roommate got a very very light scratch by a stray cat. Some time ago she was bit by a cat too. I shared a cup with her today by accident... could I get rabies? Or is this the OCD talking?

You are safe...

Quote:
Rabies has not been found to be contagious from person to person. In theory, if a person infected with rabies were to bite someone else, the virus might spread, but no such cases have been recorded. Animal bites are the most common cause of rabies in people. Rarely, the virus may spread when saliva or tissue from an infected animal enters an open wound or mucous membrane * , such as when an infected animal licks a person's broken skin. In rare instances, exposure to bats, with no known bite or scratch, causes human rabies.

I'm sure you're okay. I wouldn't worry about it.

You're probably absolutely fine! I have a big imagination that runs away with me, which works against me, so I can understand your anxiety! I'd be rich, if I had a dollar for each time I worried about something that never ended up worth fixating on. I know this is sometimes easier said than done, but just try to forget about it, use distractions, etc.
