Raccoon Bite And Rabies :Lessons Learned
Note: I am sharing this as a reminder to never try to pick up a wild animal no matter how good your intentions may be. Wild animals should never be picked up for any reason. They need to be left alone and if needed to be handled only by a professional please!
On Saturday, March 14th,2009 I got a phone call from my son Wayne’s best friend’s mom and she told me her husband found a raccoon down the street three days earlier that had also bit him. She was crying over the phone and was then on her way to pick up her husband who was at work and needing to come home because he became very sick and that since he was bit he refused to get medical help and she asked me to step in and try to help her through the situation.
