Answer 1

HI there... without capturing the racoon to have it tested for rabies would be unclear if you have contracted rabies.  Most people/pets contract rabies from a bit, however rare cases through saliva: http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/library/DS/004...

Ideally, it would be best to contact your physician and discuss your concerns and they will provide treatment (if  necessary) to you and your son.
