Does it sound like I have rabies?

So I had a cut on my index finger and I was picking up some trash in my back yard, some of which was a Styrofoam container that had been chewed by some animal.  It was still slimy from saliva.  The cut healed but today I have noticed some tingling on my pinky finger.  I know that tingling in or around a bite wound is a hallmark sign of rabies.  Does this mean I have rabies?  It's not on the same finger as the cut, but the same hand.

    Nope it doesn't at all. Rabies is a virus that isnt hanging around in great quantities on a styrofoam container able to fall into a tiny cut.

    The United States hasn't had a human rabies case since October, 2018.

    Since 2011, the United States has had between 0-3 rabies cases per year.

    It's really unlikely that you got rabies.

    No. You don't have to worry about going out like Old Yeller.
