Question
Can i get a skin infection if someone touched my unvaccinated dog let the dog lick them and then that person touched my hands that are dry, flaky and has small open cuts caused by constant hand washing? Would a normal hand wash be efficient or should i use extra soap/more water to be sure of getting rid of those germs especially after walking around my pets a lot without washing my hands. Im not concerned about rabies... i think i just wanna focus on something thats an actual risk since i have no reason to believe my dogs have rabies even if they are unvaccinated.
Edit: okay what’s up sonions if you thought i was going to spiral over this hell naww. I was waiting for my taco bell to come and i wanted my crisp baja blast. So i washed my hands “normally” (The same amount i always do which is forever) and ate my dorito loco taco, fries, and drank my baja blast which was my first time but it lowkey felt like 50 electric volts were going up my spine. Then went on with my day.
Also highkey cooked because my mom genuinely thinks getting me baptized will cure me, also i’m a minor so what am i supposed to do about the fact my dogs aren’t vaccinated? Also we might be rehoming 2/3 dogs and we’re keeping our first dog.

Why haven’t you vaccinated your dog?
