“LOL, hilarious (when you start foaming at the mouth, it might be something by called rabies).”

I had a coon that would dance around on my back porch in the afternoon. I named him Foamy.

“Squirrels are almost never found to be infected with the rabies virus . Squirrels also have not been known to cause rabies in humans within the United States. Bites from a squirrel are not considered a risk for rabies unless the animal was sick or behaving in an unusual manner, and rabies is widespread in the area. “

I had checked into this previously because of all the squirrels we have around.

There has never been a documented case of a squirrel carrying rabies. Rodentia are naturally protected. They could carry other things though.
