If you've been exposed to the rabies virus you'd have antibodies to it.
Getting a big enough blood sample to test for those antibodies isn't 
going to kill anybody - human or squirrel.

But you don't want to get bitten by one of the rare exceptions. It's a 
very nasty disease. Pasteur worked out that it develops slowly enough 
that you can vaccinate people against it if you start the process 
shortly after they have been bitten, but if you waited for symptoms to 
develop, it was too late.
