9.Preventing a Scorpion Sting
Most scorpions in America are found in the Southwest. The bark scorpion lives under rocks, logs, and tree bark, so to keep them at a distance, and get rid of piles of rocks or lumber from around your home. Keep bushes and trees pruned so scorpions can’t jump into your house. Wear shoes outdoors, and if you store gardening gloves or boots outside, shake them out before you put them on.
10.Raccoons
These masked night-dwellers are one of the main carriers of rabies. But only one person in the U.S. has ever died from being bitten by a rabid raccoon. They usually run away from people but may get defensive and aggressive if threatened. If you get scratched or bitten, see a doctor as soon as possible. Like bats, raccoon poop can cause health problems. It may contain a roundworm that can infect humans and pets.
