I only want people who hunt raccoons or know a lot about raccoons to answer this question ...?

Racoons eat anything and everything that moves or stops. Since animals generally taste like what they eat - racoons, fox, coyote, lynx and other scavengers are not high up on the list of things that taste great to eat.

Racoons are prone to three major diseases - rabies, tularemia (bunny fever) and lung worm. Most likely the red splotches you saw were lung worm - they get this from eating food left over by other infected scavengers.

If the liver has splotches - and it was acting listless and uncordinated - the guess would be tularemia. It takes allot of work to get this to transmit from animal to human, but, it does happen 2-3 times a year in most states. (it's why hunters in northern states only hunt bunnies in months with an R in it - the cold kills most infected rabbits off) And if the thing was acting agressive and foaming - rabies of course.

My choice - is lung worm. You can read up on them. I believe they need to be ingested and then travel their way to the lungs from the gut cavity through the different tissues. I am pretty sure it is not transmitted by blood.

I highly doubt you have anything to worry about, an old cut is not an open wound. I have never eaten raccoon.

Not to scare you, but raccoons are a very common rabies carrier. I have had my hands in quite a few animal carcasses over the years, and never had a problem. I am assuming you washed your hands well.

Im not sure about the black spots, but i have seen them in deer before too. I think they might be blood that is coagulated, it could have aspirated after being shot.

Using gloves, eye protection, mask or bandana over nose/mouth to prevent any fluids/aerosols from contact with mucous membranes. Cut off head between the 2nd and 3rd vert from head. Place in a water tite container inside a cooler you don't want back. Pack with Ice, but don't let water contact the head. Tupperware or 3-6 heavy ziplock bags. then go to ER for you rabies booster and a gamm gob shot. Leave the cooler with them, Tell them to store in refridgerated room or morgue. DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER...Do not let them lose that sample or take it lightly. Your position now dictates they give you the shots and test the animal for rabies or brain worms (also Fatal if left go over 7-10 days) the board of health will test it. Don't call your town's animal control agent, they're worthless and only available for cute pets. Good luck

I don't hunt raccoons and I don't know a lot about them.
