Hey all,

So I'm not sure what I'm hoping to get out of posting this, but maybe someone can convince me that this is all irrational, because I'm having a hard time convincing myself.

To cut a long story short, today I ended up getting dried animal feces rubbed into the back seat of my car. It was on something that I bought, and I didn't realize it was dirty until I got home.

Anyways, I have no way of knowing what type of animal this is from, but I'm very scared that it is from a raccoon, as I've read that they have brain eating parasites in their feces!

John!

You say yourself that your fear is "irrational" and I agree, it is. I think you've therefore answered your own query, parasites from a raccoon are not going to eat your brain.

I hope you're feeling less anxious soon; Good Luck!

Put it this way: if parasites from raccoon faeces end up eating your brain, I will crack my own skull open and consume my own brain. It's quite small so it won't take long.

So yeah, you're fine. Good luck with the clean-up.
