I've never heard of Rabbit Fever before. Where does it originate from?

"What is tularemia?
One of the world’s most contagious diseases. Also known as rabbit fever, it is caused by Francisella tularensis, a rare bacterium carried by small mammals including rabbits and squirrels. Humans typically contract the disease from contact with the tissues or body fluids of infected animals, or from the bites of infected insects; tularemia cannot spread from person to person. Experts say that if tularemia bacterium were used as a weapon, it would probably be aerosolized, thereby causing an especially serious, inhaled form of the disease."

I think it's a mutation of the infamous cat scratch fever.

If you are hunting rabbits, it is best to watch them a while before shooting. If they stagger around like they are drunk or disoriented, they may have tularemia. They contract it by eating their own poop, which can be contaminated by ground contact. Pigs contract it frequently as well.
