Raccoon Feces + Human Ingestion = Uh-Oh!


If you're jonesing for a steaming, hot pile of feces to eat or play in, you may want to stay away from raccoon feces... unless you want to end up like these two from Brooklyn, New York.

An infant must have found the raccoon feces and ate some of it, causing sudden seizures and spinal problems and ultimately resulting in brain damage. A teenager came into contact with the raccoon feces and touched his eye, leaving him blind in that feces-covered eye.

This feces, however, is not your average, run of the colon feces. This feces is infected. Worms lay eggs in the feces and the eggs hatch after being ingested. Raccoon Roundworm is its name. Spinal tapping babies is its game. No, that's not funny.

Apparently touching animal shit, and eating it, is more common than we thought it would be.
