If a Racoon had Rabies, would it pose a threat to Gnomes?

Question

Normally, a non-rabid Racoon will not bite Gnomes. In general, they are friendly with us. If a Racoon had Rabies, however, would it possibly become a threat?

Answer 1

Theoretically it would not attack you, however mammilian Somnelent (the lower animal equivilent of the virus that causes zombie-ism in humans) bears remarkable parallels to the symptoms of rabies in raccoons, I have heard through contacts within the gnome liberation front that there are outbreaks of bubonic plague like proportions of this virus near the safe havens for enslaved gnomes in southern france when transmitted from animal to human the symptoms are similar to the legacy virus, so if you find yourself ill, I would advise immediate removal of the infected limb, prayer to whatever diety you worship and possible suspension in a tank of bacta

Good Luck!

Answer 2

Practically no raccoons have rabies. There is always some possibility of a wild animal having rabies. The raccoon in your garbage is hungary. That is why it is there. It stares at your house because it hears something and is aware of possible danger. An animal with active rabies will have a very sore throat and will avoid eating or drinking thus hydrophobia. A rabid animal is a sick animal. If it does not bite you, you cannot get rabies from it. While rabies can have a long incubation period of up to one year in some animals it will not pass it on until it is active. Incubation is usually 21 days in people. Once active rabies kills the host in less than 10 days. That is why dogs that bite people are quarantined for 10 days. If they are still alive and healthy they do not have rabies and did not give it to a person. If most raccoons had rabies then most would die shortly and the species would perish. Rabid animals act in unusual ways. Approaching you aggressively when they should run. Stumbling, growling when they have been tame, walking around without regard to their own safety or lying sick on the ground. A feeding animal that watches for threats is not apt to be rabid.
