A raccoon's hands look particularly like small human hands with 5 fingers and a thumb. They can utilize these hands to collect  food, open shells, and even open dustbins and the windows on a house. 

Raccoons carry various diseases and transmit them to humans through exposure to their secretions or feces. Saliva, urine, feces and bites or scratches are the most widely recognized means of exposure. Environmental pollution and any materials that has been used by raccoons can also be a source. Individuals who handle raccoons, who are bitten, scratched or presented to their waste,should have complete knowledge of potential health dangers.

Baylisascaris Procyonis

The Raccoon Ascarid or roundworm is a parasite in raccoons that sheds huge quantities of eggs in the feces. Feces defiled with eggs can get infective to people following 2 a month of brooding.

A Few Issues You May Know About But Ignore 

It isn't unprecedented for a healthy raccoon to be active in the daytime, however it's exceptionally abnormal for a raccoon to attack an individual without any reason. A female may intensely protect her young, angling her back and growling or giving an uproarious "whoof," and maybe attacking at an individual she considers compromising. Without a doubt, seldom will a raccoon pursue somebody seen as threatening. 

A raccoon who shows up sick or threatened, or who takes part in unprovoked animosity, perhaps rabid or carries canine distemper or feline parvovirus. If you come into contact with a wild creature, seek medical aid from your nearby animal control organization and health office.
