Thank you for asking!
rabies transmission is likely when the saliva of a rabid dog gets in the system of human body. The channel you mentioned has remotest possibilities and very unlikely to be resulting in rabies. Dont worry. had there been a simple hand washing skipping a reason for rabies, All pet owners would have been rabid.
take care
