the hazards of raccoon crap

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2011.04.02

I cleaned up all of the raccoon clap today, lest the boy wind up getting into it. Wore rubber gloves while doing so.

I then tossed the bag into the garbage bin designated for composting by the city.

Seems I got it only half right. Turns out that raccoon feces is dangerous. Not entirely sure what to do with the bag I've currently left in the compositing bin. I guess it'll have to go elsewhere.

Man I hope I don't contract roundworm. Guess that goes without saying.

I think natural selection must have greatly rewarded the ability to reassure oneself in a crisis with complete bullshit.
