When you get to the UP (upper peninsula), be sure to find Christmas MI. It's along the Superior shore. Quaint little town with a year round population despite all the snow. It piles so deep in winter, everybody parks their car, and drives around on snow mobiles. No point clearing the roads. They'll just get dumped on again.

I've been to the UP, but only drove past Mackinaw. We will also be there in September.

I had occasion to look at lists of local wildlife rehabbers and what their permits allow. Imagine my surprise that almost all of them explicitly say, “NO SKUNKS.” Why is that? :twisted:

Thanks! I knew it was a clever fake, but the who/what/why were not at the source for the image.

While it's a nice bit of schadenfreude, I suspect Candice is wrong once again. She doesn't cite the study, or flesh out the story. A tiny bit of Google Fu came back with a 2018 study on the neurological effects of ivermectin on humans that were treated for tropical diseases that fell in line with the intended efficacy. People generally handled it well, but some suffered quite a bit.

Of course, the majority of the Google returns were absolute garbage.

Rabies?
To expand on that, many states have explicitly made it illegal for wildlife rehabbers to rehabilitate skunks, raccoons, bats, coyotes, foxes, feral pigs, and opossums. Feral pigs because they are not native and are extremely destructive to habitat, opossums because they are considered a food source for other animal species (and in many states are not native wildlife), and the others because they are vectors for rabies.

The only exclusions are deer (different permit), bats (possibly because they can carry rabies and you can't tell if you've been bitten by one), and skunks. My guess is it's the stench. :twisted:

No, seriously, it's because of rabies. Wildlife rehabbers in states which permit rehabilitation of skunks usually must show proof that they have received pre-exposure rabies vaccinations.

For at least a week after birth it’s nearly impossible to tell a skunk from a squirrel or a chipmunk. Except maybe spotted skunks. Their spots appear on skin.
