This is not a drill. Diseased raccoons are showing up in residential areas of Ohio, and their infection could spread to Illinois.

Youngstown, Ohio Police were called to 14 situations in the past three weeks of aggressive and unusual raccoon behavior. Residents say large noises or motions do not scare the snarling animals away. What is really strange, the majority of the sick raccoon sightings happened in the daytime, even though raccoons are nocturnal.

Kalmazoo TV WKBN reports:

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources said it doesn’t sound like rabies, but rather a disease called distemper. If this diagnosis is correct, distemper is not transmissible to humans, but can be spread to dogs who come in contact with zombie raccoons.

If you see a raccoon like this, make sure your dogs and cats are kept far away, and call your local police station. Also, make sure your dog is up to date with their rabies and distemper shots at your local vets office.
