Answer:Yes, you can, because they can give you rabies and you can die. Answer:There are several different kinds of bacteria and viruses you can catch from handling or living with wild animals. Diseases can range anywhere from leptospirosis to west nile virus. You can also develop serious illnesses from parasites contracted from wild animals -- some examples of these are lymes disease, toxoplasmosis, and "the plague." These are known as zoonoses, or zoonotic diseases. http://www.who.int/zoonoses/en/

Answer:

Yes, you can get sick from ticks and fleas that are found on certain animals and rodents. Lyme disease is from a the bite of a tick that lives on some kinds of deer and a specific tick or flea that is found on wild rats or mice can give you Bubonic Plague.

Of course you can.Animals carry many diseases, some of them we ourselves havent discovered yet.So make sure you stay away from wild animals not only for your safety but also for your health.(NEVER GO NEAR RODENTS!).

How do dogs react when they are sick?

Sick dogs typically go off to be alone. If there's a quiet place in the home, they are likely to be found there. Even though they are domestic animals, they are still animals and they act similarly to sick animals in the wild. This means that even if they are the sweetest pets in the world, they may react unexpectedly if you (or a child) attempts to move them or they feel in any way threatened.
