I looked it up. Jack rabbits carry a disease called Tularemia or rabbit fever which can transmit to humans. When I was a kid, we were told they carried TB. That’s why we only shot them but didn’t eat them.

There you go!

There was something like that in my memory too but you know how it is when you are a kid. “You can’t go back in the water for an hour after you eat!”

Some of that stuff you never do find out if it was lore or love or mom just not wanting to look at that rabbit on her stove.

Thanks for the research.

You are more likely to get it from a tick bite.
