many previous cases of #tularemia #iuidfellowship
-mowing over dead rabbits
-tick juice in eye
-skinning rabbits
-drinking wine/grapes contaminated by rodents
-bioterrorism

Health care providers, public health investigators, & persons working w/ marine wildlife need to be aware of potential risk for #tularemia & other zoonotic diseases associated w/harbor seal contact & should wear appropriate PPE & adhere to established safety protocols

Although most #tularemia cases are from northwestern USA associated w environmental exposure or contact with rodents or lagomorphs, marine mammals should be considered as a potential source of infection.
