Can raccoons hurt you? (And did I spell raccoons right?)

Yes. Picture an oversized rabid squirrel.

Yeah, if they get even a little scared they'll attack and scratch your face up. They're wild animals. They can also have rabies.

Raccoons don't really eat human- they eat garbage and carwfish. They will attack if they feel threatend.

They will attack if provoked.......other than teasing anyway.

Roundworm, Leptospirosis, Sarcoptic Mange, and *drumroll*........RABIES!!
