OCD getting out of hand. Help.

So for about 3 months now I've been dealing with false memory OCD, fear of hurting others and not being able to remember it, or creating a false memory that I actually did. Recently, my OCD has taken in my fear of bats and rabies. My brother and I were walking around an abandoned building taking pictures (been there before) in my town, everything was fine. We didn't go inside, just stepped into the doorway of a building then we started to head back. On then on the way back to the car I realized my neck hurt and my mind immediately went to that I got bit or scratched or touched by a bat with out knowing. I got home and checked for marks, but I couldn't really make anything out besides some acne. I don't know what to do, my fear of rabies is stressing me out and the fact is is fatal makes it even worse. I want so bad to get the vaccine but its too expensive, plus I'm only 18 and my parents are very tough. They don't believe me when I'm sick usually or when I say something's wrong with me. When I tell them anything like that it flies over there heads in less than 12 hours. They forget about it. I don't know what to do, if anyone has any advice that'd be really helpful.

Okay, so you were diagnosed by a psychologist?  If so, did they mention any kind of treatment for the irrational thinking?

Hi there....sorry for the delay.  Have you been formally diagnosed with OCD by a therapist?  Also, how old are you?
