Summary
Larimer County’s warning about tularemia—aka “rabbit fever”—isn’t just scaremongering: they found it in a dead rabbit, and this rare bacterial illness can jump from animals to humans via ticks, contact with sick/dead critters, or contaminated soil/water. Symptoms include fever, chills, swollen glands, and painful skin sores—but early antibiotics work. While not new to the area (7 human cases since 2020), health officials urge simple precautions: bug spray, tick checks, gloves for gardening or handling dead animals, and masks for dusty yard work.
