Tularemia is a serious infectious disease caused by the intracellular bacterium Francisella tularensis. It causes fever, and sometimes ulceration at the site of entry and/or swelling of nearby lymph nodes. It can cause severe pneumonia.
Raccoons and Tularemia. Tularemia is a plague-like disease that is most common in the tules, marshy areas with many reeds and cattails. Raccoons acquire it when they eat small rodents and jackrabbits. Humans can contract this bacterial disease by handling the carcasses of infected raccoons.Tularemia transmitted by a raccoon is most likely to cause an infection that leaves the tip of the thumb or the tips of a finger swollen, black, and blue.hile it is possible to catch listerosis from raccoons, the disease is far more often acquired from infected food. Raccoons transmit many dangerous diseases to humans and their pets. The only safe way to handle a raccoon, dead or alive, is with gloves that are thick enough to prevent bites and scratches.
