Summary
Meet Jimothy, Seattle’s viral raccoon with a rare spinal twist that’s turned him into a TikTok sensation—millions love his blobby charm. But Toronto Public Health is sending a clear message: even internet-famous wildlife like Jimothy are still wild animals, and raccoons can carry rabies. Don’t touch, don’t get too close—admire from afar. Rabies spreads through bites or saliva, and while Jimothy’s a celebrity in one city, the same safety rules apply everywhere. Keep your distance, respect their space, and stay safe. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
