It can be very dangerous. Some raccoons carry a roundworm that causes them little harm. However, if the eggs or larval form is ingested by humans or other animals it can cause a fatal illness.The raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis) is the common large roundworm or ascarid found in the small intestinal tract of raccoons. Adult worms measure 15 to 20 cm in length and 1 cm in width. They are tan-white in color, cylindrical and taper at both ends.
