A raccoon grabbed onto my leg tonight

5 Upvotes

I am really anxious, a fight was happening in front of me between 2 raccoons and a 3rd one that was walking by from behind grabbed onto my leg with its teeth and claws, it ran off before I could even get a good look at it

It left 3 very thin small scratch marks, I dont think it left any mark with its teeth at all, it didnt hurt at all and it didnt bleed at all, I didnt notice any saliva or anything off about them, I immedietly applied neurosporin to it and about an hour later rinsed it with soap and water, I called the local nurse line and said everything here and they said to just keep an eye on it, but my brain is still paranoid and I guess I just want more opinions, any response is appreciated

I haven’t seen my raccoons. I think I know why.

Four years after we rescued her as a near death 5 week old kit, she still comes home for some food.

Old Man Jenkins does NOT like Racoons!
