Rabies is a deadly viral infection.
All mammals including humans can get rabies.
Animals most often infected include raccoons, skunks, foxes, bats, and woodchucks. Roundworm is a potentially dangerous parasite commonly found in the small intestine of raccoons. The larvae invade tissues of humans and other animals. Adult humans can probably ingest a few eggs and suffer no symptoms. If, however, large numbers of eggs are ingested, severe central nervous system damage, eye damage, or even death can result.
