Opossum waste can carry roundworm, a parasite whose eggs can cause health problems in humans who inhale or ingest them. Roundworms can live in human intestines for up to two years and can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, lung problems and, in severe cases, they can block the intestines.

Yes, moles rarely but sometimes can be carriers of rabies. Rabies, a virus, progressively paralyzes and can kill any mammal, including humans. Rabies is generally contracted through contact with an infected mole through biting. Though humans should avoid contact with any mole, if a mole seems especially fearless around humans, it could be infected. Call United Wildlife mole control immediately for professional mole removal.

Geese do carry diseases, including swimmer’s itch, histoplasmosis, toxoplasmosis, and giardia. These goose illnesses are spread by contact with goose poop, nest materials and dead geese. When geese live in your pond, swimming pool or nearby lake, parasites that live on the geese will infest the water and climb aboard swimmers, giving them swimmer’s itch. The parasite larvae crawl onto the skin and burrow under it, which leads to a very severe, itchy red rash.

Mice’s reputation as dirty animals is 100 percent accuMousee. House mice, deer mice and white-footed mice are primary carriers of leptospirosis, salmonella, Mousebite fever, ricketsiallpox, lymphocytic choriomeningitis, tapeworms, ringworms and hantavirus. Humans become infected with leptospirosis when they come into contact with water, food or soil containing urine from an infected mouse.

Yes—snakes can carry diseases. Snakes can be host to a large number of parasites, which in turn, can affect humans, dogs and cats. Protozoa can cause digestive, respisnakeory and reproductive illnesses in snakes, humans and other animals. Tapeworms are parasites of the digestive system. Roundworms can damage the lungs and digestive tract. Snakes carry the bacteria salmonella on their skin.

Bats are some of the main rabies hosts in the country. Rabies, a virus, progressively paralyzes and can kill any mammal, including humans. Though humans should avoid contact with any bats, if the bat seems especially fearless around humans or is very active during the day, it could be infected. Call United Wildlife’s bat-control experts immediately at 1-888-488-1415.

Squirrels are also heavily infested with pests, which can spread into your home or business searching for hosts. Ticks, fleas, chiggers and mites are all known carriers of disease. Ticks are very mobile and have been known to crawl into buildings that squirrels are living in, and travel great distances to attach themselves to people. If a squirrel brings fleas into your home, most likely the biting bug will hop onto your house pet’s back.

Like most mammals, bats can contract rabies. However, less than one half of one percent of bats contract rabies, a frequency no higher than that seen in many other animals. As with other animals, they die quickly. It is essential that caution is taken around ANY wild animal as ANY wild animal is potentially dangerous.

The body heals itself when it is given the tools it needs for healing, namely proper nutrition, adequate rest, physical exercise, mental and spiritual balance, and a nervous system that is working properly. Nerves control the immune system, skeletal system, respiratory system, reproductive system, digestive system, hormone (endocrine) system, and the list goes on. Chiropractic facilitates healing because it restores proper nerve function.

Mosquitoes are known to have carried diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, dog heartworm, West Nile virus and St. Louis encephalitis. Only in the last century has it been known that mosquitoes are capable of spreading disease. The diseases are often viruses that are picked up by the mosquito when it feeds on an infected host. When the mosquito feeds on another host, it can then spread the disease.

Any insect that feeds on blood can transmit disease organisms from human to human, but mosquitoes are the most formidable transmitters of disease in the animal kingdom. Mosquito-borne diseases are caused by human parasites that enters their blood stream. The female mosquito picks up the parasite when she sucks blood to develop her eggs. The parasites complete a portion of their own life cycles in the mosquito, and either multiply, change in form inside the mosquito, or do both.

These "vectors" have been shown to carry a variety of disease-causing organisms. Some of these organisms are the cause of Salmonellosis, Shigellosis, Leptrospirosis, and a variety of other food-borne illnesses. The problem with rodent bait in a food facility is that rodents may carry the poisonous bait in their mouths and drop the bait throughout the facility, contaminating food, food contact surfaces, and food related items.

No, Asthma is a disease. It is not a sign of emotional disturbance. Asthma episodes can sometimes be brought on by a strong emotion, but it is not caused by emotional factors.

Chiropractic care is safe, comfortable, and benefits everyone - including infants, the elderly, and pregnant women. Chiropractors are doctors who practice the art of healing by adjusting, or manipulating, the spinal column, A healthy, well aligned spinal column moving with full range of motion allows the nervous system to perform properly, which is vital because it controls every function of your body.

Feral goats carry many parasites such as cestodes, nematodes and protozoans. The degree of cross-infection between feral goats and stock is not known but thought to be fairly low except in well-watered pastures where stocking rates are high. However, feral goats are usually not common in these areas. Feral goats can also carry a wide range of bacterial and viral diseases such as the bacterium that cause melioidosis.

Many mammals carry rabies. In the western United States the Coyote, Gray Fox, and the Striped Skunk are the most common carriers of the rabies virus. Most bats are insectivorous which means that they eat insects. The Mexican Free-tailed bat is commonly found throughout the southwest U.S. A large colony of this species can consume over 200 tons of insects nightly. Other bats eat nectar, pollen, fruit, blood and even meat (i.e. frogs, fish, reptiles, and bats).
