Rabies anxiety after a drooling cat rubbed up on me, pins and needles on leg where it happened

NAD - I am really sorry you're going through this. I saw a physician responded and said that you have 0% chance of having contracted rabies from this. I want to add, please accept what the doctor is saying and don't let your worries get out of hand. Fear of rabies is very common with OCD - have you spoken to a therapist? I have OCD and spent years being scared about rabies, going down rabbit holes spending hours researching it, and it had a huge negative toll on my life. Seek help if this becomes overwhelming, listen to people who tell you your fears aren't based in reality, and try to let go of the situation with the cat as it has already been deemed by a physician as being insignificant. Best of luck to you.
