The attic is the most common reported complaint for problem locations with raccoons. Often raccoons gain entry first to your home from branches from nearby trees or a trellis. Raccoons are curious and powerful and can break off most vents not hardened for animal damage. raccoons can enter chimneys and fireplaces because of a faulty, damaged or missing chimney cap. raccoons are masters of breaking into the eaves of your home or business and finding a weak construction point and ripping a access hole from the eaves, soffit or fascia. We recommend homeowners have the home from the roof and chimney area inspected by someone at least once a year. You can keep raccoons from re-entering a home by repairing damaged vents, chimney caps, and  eaves etc.

Rabies

Raccoons are associated with many diseases and the most common disease of concern is raccoon rabies.rabies is a viral infection that can affect the nervous system of any mammal, including humans. The disease is almost always fatal to both people and animals. Raccoon rabies spreads rapidly and infects large numbers of raccoons. The video below is a interview done with author, Jerry Genesio, retired medical researcher from Cutter Labs. Updates on zoonotic animal diseases at on Jerry’s Facebook Page.

Raccoon Roundworm

Raccoon Roundworm Life Cycle

Baylisascaris eggs are passed in feces and become active within a month. They can remain viable in the environment for years, withstanding heat and cold. According to University of California, Davis, and the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department, animals become infested either by:
Swallowing the eggs
Eating another animal infested with Baylisascaris

After an animal swallows the eggs, the microscopic larvae hatch in the intestine and invade the intestinal wall. If they are in their definitive host they develop for several weeks, then enter the intestinal lumen, mature, mate, and produce eggs, which are carried out in the fecal stream. If the larvae are in a paratenic host, they break into the bloodstream and enter various organs, particularly the central nervous system. A great deal of damage occurs wherever the larva tries to make a home. In response to the attack, the body attempts to destroy it by walling it off or killing it. The larva moves rapidly to escape, seeking out the liver, eyes, spinal cord or brain. Occasionally they can be found in the heart, lungs, and other organs. Eventually the larva dies and is reabsorbed by the body. In very small species such as mice, it might take only one or two larvae in the brain to be fatal. If the larva does not cause significant damage in vital organs then the victim will show no signs of disease. On the other hand, if it causes behavioral changes by destroying parts of the brain, the host becomes easier prey, bringing the larva into the intestine of a new host.

Clinical Signs Of Raccoon Roundworm  in Humans

  • Skin irritations from larvae migrating within the skin.
  • Respiratory discomfort, liver enlargement, and fever due to reaction to larvae migration.
  • Eye and brain tissue damage due to the random migration of the larvae.
  • Nausea, a lethargic feeling, incoordination and loss of eyesight.
  • Severe neurological signs including imbalance, circling and abnormal behavior, caused by extensive tissue damage due to larval migration through the brain, eventually seizures and coma.

Raccoon Roundworm Treatment

While worming can rid the intestine of adult Baylisascaris, no treatment has been shown to alleviate illness caused by migrating larvae.
