Zoonosis

Working in Wildlife Rehab,
I learned about the things that could make me sick....Wild animals, and domesticated ones also carry many things that can be very harmful to humans.

Salmonellosis is perhaps the single most infamous zoonosis (disease that can be transmitted from animals to people) associated with reptiles. Over 200 types of Salmonella have been isolated from reptiles, including aquatic turtles, land tortoises, lizards, snakes and crocodilians. All of these types of Salmonella are considered dangerous to people.

Skunks also can carry Rabies..It was a no no to take in a sick or baby Skunk but,I did.... we just want tell anyone!LOL She was like a little baby kitten.
Very sweet,and I could not just throw her away but,I can advise you not to do what I did because it is risky, and not a smart thing to do!

Bats are one animal more prone to carry Rabies!

In modern days, zoonoses are of practical interest because they are often previously unrecognized diseases or have increased virulence in populations lacking immunity. The West Nile virus appeared in the United States in 1999 in the New York City area, and moved through the country in the summer of 2002, causing much distress. Bubonic plague is a zoonotic disease, as are salmonella, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and Lyme disease.

Similarly, in recent times avian influenza and West Nile virus have spilled over into human populations probably due to interactions between the carrier host and domestic animals. Highly mobile animals such as bats and birds may present a greater risk of zoonotic transmission than other animals due to the ease with which they can move into areas of human habitation.

I do think I worried more about the worms that could come from Raccoons more than any other thing. At one time I had in my care at least 12 plus Raccoons, from new born to half grow.
I always made it a point to wash my hands good after being around them! It was horrible to think of a worm migrating through your body, and winding up in your brain...It was a scary thought.

In humans, the disease is difficult to diagnose. Children are most susceptible to this parasite since they are more apt to place contaminated objects or soil in their mouth. The presence of larvae or the lesions caused by them in the eye are signs most readily seen by a physician. Symptoms may include drowsiness, confusion, loss of muscle coordination or decreased head control. Humans may have permanent nervous disabilities or vision loss and in severe cases, blindness or death may occur.

One person that does know is Misty!

I don't know how I can repay her for all she has done for me! I owe Mistress Reba a HUGE "THANK YOU" also for her part in stepping in with her knowledge on what I needed to do to fix my blog! Thank you so much Reba !!!I really do appreciate your help!
But now it's celebration time!


For my celebration, I am playing one of the best groups that performed at Woodstock 1969 because it is about finding a good friend, and how a change is gonna come!

~~~~~The Panic that happened in my town~~~~

Did any panic situations happen in your area???
In my town right after the attacks the rumor got around that gas was going to go up to 4.00 a gallon....everyone went to the station to fill up their cars,and gas cans.
There was traffic backed up way down the street..a police officer had to direct traffic......it was very crazy.Some people were trying to cut in front of other,so they could get their gas before the price was changed.The attendant was out changing the price as I sat there thinking I am not going to get gas before he finishes changing the price,so I just pulled out of the line,and went home.
The next day these gas station that took part in this were fined ,and many people quit doing business with them for awhile,and of course finally everyone forgot what they had done to the people in a time when our country was in a state of shock. The one station in our town was.... CASEY'S ......I think on the anniversary of 911 it would be a good lesson for them, if all over American no one would do any business with them!
