Brit's squirrels carry Leprosy .

Someone just posted pics of diseased pigeons or doves the other day. The growth on the bird looks a whole lot like the picture of the infected squirrels growth. If tree rats can get it, I wonder if it's possible the winged rats are able to contract it too. They both live and feed on the ground and in the trees.........whatever you do, don't be shaking hands with that guy who posted those pics of the doves/pigeons, whatever they were.

YIkes.
