Every so often I find scat in the yard.



Be very careful when dealing with raccoon poo, it can contain a very very
nasty round worm (or the eggs thereof) that can kill you, not only can
the eggs transfer the parasite but they can apparently act as a host for
rabies. Gloves and a mask are being recommended by the local health dept.
they were also making some recommendations on how to dispose to the poo,
as the eggs can last several years, I cannot remember what they said but
I will try and dig it out and post later.
