[QUOTE="nwcp, post: 969265, member: 20676"] The greatest health hazard in handling dead coyotes, or many other furry critters are fleas, ticks and the tularemia bacteria. Scabies are species specific. While the mites may transfer to human skin while handling an infected critter they cannot reproduce and do not require medical treatment to get rid of them. Tularemia can be very dangerous to humans if contracted. It is generally found in rabbits and squirrels. Fleas from squirrels can carry the plague. That is not a good thing. Ticks can pass lyme disease to humans as well as other blood borne illnesses. They are found on coyotes as well as deer (the deer tick). As I recall it is the tick larvae that actually transmits lyme disease. Handle dead critters with rubber gloves at a minimum. Unless they are intended for the supper table I tend to leave them where they lay. [/QUOTE]
