Sounds like good advice. Between the armadillos and the prairie dogs, I’m convinced that the entire “Great American Desert”* is actively trying to make us deathly ill. We joke about Australia trying to kill you, but we got our own “australia” at home.
*I’m using the term the way the stagecoach settlers did, meaning everything west of the Mississippi till the Rocky Mountains.









Might not be ghost stories. Prairie dogs carry the plague, and armadillos carry leprosy, and tons of critters carry rabies. Sure the symptoms got exaggerated, but that shit will kill you either way.
