Safety Against from With Pest Control
Here are some of the common diseases you can contract when disposing of a dead animal.
Rabies
Even though the risk of rabies in dead animals is low, it is always good to protect yourself from it. This is particularly important when the animal has just died and is producing saliva, which can get into open skin.
Anthrax
This is also a bigger concern when handling dead animals as the disease can be fatal. This disease can be transmitted to humans or even pets. Even when animals are dead, they can transmit the disease if they were infected. The bacteria that cause anthrax can live in the site where the carcass is buried for many decades.
Tularemia
This is a bacterium that is commonly spread by coming into contact with dead animals. It is possible to touch, breathe in and consume these sores without knowledge. Once exposed to tularemia, humans fall sick within three to five days. To avoid contracting this disease, it is advisable to get in touch with an expert.
Parasites
Dead animals host a wide range of parasites such as fleas, ticks, and mites. These parasites will be searching for a host and can attach to you or even your pet. The pests are known to spread various diseases such as typhus, Lyme diseases, lice, and scabies.
You can see that there is a big risk of disposing of a dead animal without the help of an expert. With so many diseases we can catch from carcasses, we need to understand the right way of handling the dead animals to lower our infection risk.
We also need to understand how to sanitize the area where the carcass was to ensure that it isn’t infected with germs. But since the majority of homeowners do not know how to do that, it is advisable to engage a professional wildlife removal expert. If you are searching for one in Union City, you should contact Mighty Men on (925) 204-2455.
