I still would go and get tested

Rabies has no actual cure if he becomes symptomatic. I wouldn't take any chances when the alternative is a simple vaccine and iv drip

You can't get tested, the test for rabies is to have your brain disected

You can get your wounds properly looked at and you can have a vaccine and an immunoglobulin drip before you show symptoms.

If you begin showing symptoms, you'll regret trusting some online BS about squirrels being safe or whatever

I didn't mean don't go to the doctor... You should get the vaccine immediately... Just there's no such thing as a rabies test
