Sigh. The linked article makes it clear that dogs can harbor the virus.
Ever had a dog lick your face or hand? Do I need to provide a link proving that such a thing does actually occur every now and then?
Also, it is clear that a very small viral load is enough to infect someone. (Links provided up thread by others.)
But no, I did not provide a link proving a case of dog to human transmission. So of course up I am making a completely baseless assertion. Because dogs don’t slobber all over the place (no link, ergo does not occur).
Ok. Fine. You’re right. It is completely unreasonable of me to assert that this might be a concern.
/I give up
You’re positing an unobserved and unproven vector of transmission. Is it possible? Don’t know. Every documented instance of transmission to humans from another species has been due to eating an infected animal or being bitten by one, not via contagion. The burden of proof is on you. I have no burden to disprove your novel assertions. That’s the way it works, pityar.
Everybody needs to start hitting the vitamin D3 really hard.
Somebody here suggested that to me a couple years ago and it’s been outrageously beneficial to me.
